avocado oil
Avocado oil is an intensively nourishing, cold-pressed, organic vegetable oil. It moisturizes, has anti-inflammatory properties, and strengthens the skin barrier—ideal for dry, sensitive, or mature skin, as well as for nourishing hair and scalp.
Avocado oil – nutrient-rich moisturizer for skin & hair
Avocado oil (INCI: Persea Gratissima Oil ) is extracted from the flesh of the avocado and is considered a true all-rounder in natural cosmetics. It is rich in skin-active vitamins, unsaturated fatty acids, and antioxidants. Cold-pressed from certified organic cultivation, the greenish oil impresses with its moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and regenerating effects—ideal for dry, sensitive, or mature skin.
Origin & Production
The avocado tree ( Persea americana ) belongs to the laurel family and is native to Central America, particularly the region between Mexico and Peru. The Aztecs already used the nutrient-rich fruit for healing skin and hair ointments.
Our natural cosmetics use only cold-pressed avocado pulp oil. It comes from avocado trees in the Kenyan highlands, where smallholder farmers cultivate them according to organic and fair trade standards. Unlike the seed-based oil, the pulp oil is particularly rich in active ingredients and has a pleasantly mild, characteristic scent.
