Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil

Low risk

Also known asavocado oil

FunctionEmollient

What it is — Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil (INCI: Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil), also known as avocado oil, is an emollient — an ingredient that softens and smooths.

What it does — It is commonly used as an avocado oil rich in fatty acids and vitamins.

Typical use — It is common in creams, lotions, conditioners, masks, balms and leave-in treatments, where it contributes slip and a conditioned skin- or hair-feel. The exact skin- or hair-feel it gives depends on how rich the ester or oil is and how much is used.

Who it suits / good to know — Generally well tolerated across skin types. Richer emollients can feel heavy on very oily or blemish-prone skin, so texture preference varies by person. Choosing lighter or richer emollients is mostly about matching your skin type and the season.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: eWG 1 plant oil, well tolerated. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.

Why we grade it Low: EWG 1 plant oil, well tolerated.
