Overview

Avocado oil is a thick, rich, carrier oil derived from avocados. Avocado oil in particular is rich in monosaturated fatty acids such as palmitic, linoleic, and oleic acid, and also contains high levels of vitamins A, E and D.

Used topically, vitamin-rich Avocado Carrier Oil works as a regenerating, rehydrating treatment for skin that soothes and enhances texture. It smooths the look of wrinkles, tightens skin, and diminishes the appearance of scars, age spots, and other unwanted blemishes. It can be used on dry, rough, aging, sensitive, or irritated skin such as skin afflicted with psoriasis. When used in massages, it is known to naturally treat insomnia and inflammation, to reduce muscular stiffness, joint pain, and tension, and to boost circulation.
