Sweet Almond Oil

Sweet Almond Oil — a simple, multi-use oil for everyday comfort

Looking for a simple, multi-use oil for everyday comfort? Our sweet almond oil is a gentle, natural choice you can use across face and body as part of a calm skincare routine.

What is sweet almond oil? (organic & cold-pressed)

Our organic Sweet Almond Oil is light, mild and golden in colour. Pure almond oil is naturally rich in vitamin E and, with a high oleic acid content, it helps to moisturise and replenish your skin. It is a popular oil which has been used for generations as a simple, reliable beauty aid.

The process used to produce organic sweet almond oil is cold-pressing. Extracting cold pressed sweet almond oil with this method helps retain its natural profile and avoids synthetic solvents often used in cheaper oils.

What are the benefits of sweet almond oil for your skin?

• Light, comfortable moisture: a smooth, quick-gliding texture that absorbs well on face and body.
• Skin-softening feel: rich in vitamin E and fatty acids to support a soft, nourished finish.
• Versatile use: great as a body oil, facial oil, or for relaxing massage.
• Gentle choice: suitable for most skin types when used in a simple routine.

How to use almond oil for face & body

• Face (PM): press 2–3 drops between fingertips and smooth over damp skin as your final step. For facial massage, warm a few drops and glide over the face and neck, avoiding the immediate eye margin.
• Body: apply to still-damp skin after bathing to help lock in moisture; great for elbows, shins and hands when air is dry.
• Cleansing & make-up removal: massage a small amount over dry skin to loosen sunscreen and make-up, then follow with a gentle face wash and rinse.

Why choose organic almond oil?

Choosing organic almond oil supports quality and consistency, with gentle textures that layer well in simple routines.

Why cold pressed sweet almond oil?

Cold pressing preserves the natural profile of the oil so it feels silky on application, blends easily with creams, and supports a soft, comfortable finish on skin.

FAQs

Is sweet almond oil suitable for the face?

Yes — used sparingly as a final step at night it leaves a soft, cushioned feel. Keep a margin from the lash line and avoid getting product into eyes.

Is it comedogenic?

Comedogenicity depends on your whole routine and how much you use. Apply thin layers; if you’re congestion-prone, start 2–3 nights per week and observe.

Can it help remove make-up?

It can help loosen make-up and sunscreen. Always follow with a gentle face wash and rinse thoroughly.

Is it the same as Bitter Almond Oil?

No — this page refers to cosmetic sweet almond oil used for skincare. Bitter Almond Oil is an essential oil not used for this purpose.

Nut allergy & patch test

If you have a known nut allergy, speak to a healthcare professional before use and always patch test first (e.g., inside forearm) and wait 24 hours.
