FunctionEmollient

What it is — Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil (also called sweet almond oil) is the fixed oil pressed from sweet almond kernels.

What it does — It works as an emollient, softening and smoothing the surface of skin and hair and helping reduce a rough or tight feel.

Typical use — A long-standing ingredient in body oils, creams, balms and hair conditioners, valued for a cushiony, nourishing slip.

Who it suits / good to know — Often chosen for dry or normal skin. As a nut-derived oil it may not suit those with almond or tree-nut allergies; richer oils can feel heavy on very oily skin.

Safety — Graded low risk as a well-tolerated plant oil. General information only, not medical advice; patch-test before wider use if you are sensitive.
