What is sweet almond oil? (organic & cold-pressed)
Our organic Sweet Almond Oil is light, mild and golden in colour. Pure almond oil is very 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 health and beauty aid as it works!
The process used to produce organic sweet almond oil is cold-pressing. Extracting cold pressed sweet almond oil with this method ensures the maximum vitamin content is retained. It also ensures that no synthetic chemicals are added to the extraction process (as can often be the case with cheaper almond oils).

Face (PM): press 2–3 drops between fingertips and smooth over damp skin as your final step. For 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 lock in moisture; great for elbows, shins and hands when air is dry.
