Sweet almond oil is one of the most popular oils in cosmetics, appreciated for centuries for its softening and nourishing properties. Extracted from the almonds of Prunus amygdalus, it is distinguished by its fluid texture and delicate fragrance, making it an ideal base for many skin and hair care products.

Cosmetic indications

Sweet almond oil is especially recommended for sensitive, dry, irritated, or redness-prone skin. It is also perfectly suited for babies, particularly to relieve skin irritations and cradle cap. For hair care, it nourishes dry and damaged hair, restores shine and softness, and soothes irritated scalps.

Specific components and properties

Rich in oleic acid (60–70%), it strengthens the skin’s hydrolipidic film, thereby maintaining good hydration. It also contains linoleic acid (10–30%), which is essential for cell regeneration and skin suppleness. Its vitamin E content provides antioxidant action, limiting premature aging. Finally, the present phytosterols help soothe skin inflammations and promote repair.

Practical uses

• Face and body care: nourishing cream, soothing after-sun lotion, softening massage oil.
• Hair care: oil bath for dry hair, nourishing serum for damaged ends, soothing mask for the scalp.
• Baby care: gentle massage oil, care for mild redness and irritations.
• Makeup products: integrated into foundations or lipsticks, it provides comfort and nutrition.
