Organic Sweet Almond Oil primarily provides oleic acid, linoleic acid, and antioxidant tocopherols (vitamin E). Like many oils, its primary function is as an emollient, but each oil has a specific lipid profile. In this case, oleic acid provides softness and suppleness, while linoleic acid is an essential fatty acid associated with the proper functioning of the skin barrier. This lipid combination in almond oil is particularly beneficial for very dry skin or skin that feels uncomfortable, as it provides immediate comfort.
Since oils do not add water to the skin—their function is to create a layer that locks in moisture—in advanced organic cosmetics, we formulate almond oil alongside other key ingredients. Thus, with more biomimetic formulas, we provide deep hydration while addressing other needs—such as avoiding an unnecessary heavy feeling or greasy sensation—and achieving skin that is softer, more supple, and more comfortable.
