bullet Sweet Almond Oil (Prunus amygdalus var. dulcus) A medium weight oil which is high in oleic and linoleic acid. Sweet Almond Oil is cold pressed from the dried kernels of the almond tree, produced mostly in Italy and on the mediterranean and in California, it is an excellent emollient (softening and soothing to the skin) and also helps the skin to balance its loss and absorption of moisture. This oil is one of the most popular of the carrier oils used in aroma therapy and massage, since it is non-greasy, spreads easily and also is great for nourishing the skin. The aroma is light, slightly sweet and nutty. It is useful for all skin types and is well suited as a massage oil. It is best kept under refrigeration and has a shelf life up to one year.

Sweet almond is one of the most often used carrier oils in aroma therapy and massage, and soap making, this is understandable since it has a fine texture, is easily absorbed, and helps to leave the skin soft and satiny smooth yet it is non-greasy. It is further a very good moisturizer suitable for all skin types, it will help relieve irritation, inflammation and itching, and it is greatly lubricating and because it is not overly fast penetrating , and it is a good massage medium to use to help spread the carrier and essential oil mixture, while still allowing you time to do a good massage before it is absorbed by the skin. Not only does this oil help protect the surface of the skin, but it has great value to act as an emollient, skin soother and softener while conditioning the skin and promoting a clear, clean, young looking complexion, it will also help to relieve muscular aches and pains. It has a rich concentration of oleic and linoleic essential fatty acids, and although mostly used on its own as a massage carrier, it also works well by diluting with 10% wheatgerm which will help to give it a longer shelf life. Can also be used as one of the main ingredients in soaps and lotions.
