Sweet Almond oil is a true cornerstone of natural skincare, and one of the first oils many of us learn to trust. It has a beautiful, silky texture that is medium-light—it's nourishing enough to satisfy dry skin, but absorbs well enough that it doesn't feel overly greasy. It provides a wonderful glide, making it a favorite among massage therapists.

It is packed with skin-loving nutrients. It's naturally high in Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant, as well as oleic acid and other essential fatty acids. This composition makes it incredibly effective at softening rough patches, soothing irritation and itchiness, and protecting the skin's natural barrier.

The gentleness of sweet almond oil is one of its greatest assets. It is well-tolerated by most skin types, including sensitive and baby skin, making it a reliable and safe choice for our most delicate formulas. It provides a simple, honest, and effective dose of moisture that helps to keep skin calm and comfortable.

We use it in our lotions, body butters, and soaps for its profound conditioning properties. It's a simple, timeless, and incredibly effective ingredient that has earned its place as one of the most popular carrier oils in the world.
