The mildest of all plant oils
Almond oil is extracted from the seeds of the sweet almond (Prunus dulcis). With about 65 % oleic acid and 25 % linoleic acid, it has a balanced fatty acid profile. It absorbs relatively quickly and leaves a light, velvety film on the skin. Almond oil is considered the mildest of all plant oils and is therefore traditionally found in baby and pregnancy care.
