Avocado in der Hautpflege
A

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.

Effect on skin and hair

Skin care effect

  • Moisturizing & soothing: Avocado oil contains up to 25% fat – primarily unsaturated fatty acids such as palmitoleic acid, which have anti-inflammatory effects.
  • Rich in vitamins & antioxidants: Vitamins E, B, C, D, carotenoids and lecithin support skin renewal, protect against oxidative stress and strengthen the skin barrier.
  • Promotes wound healing & non-comedogenic: The oil soothes itchy, cracked, or flaky skin without clogging pores.

Effect on hair

  • Strengthening & shine-enhancing: In hair care, avocado oil provides suppleness, promotes hair growth and protects the scalp.

Use in natural cosmetics

Avocado oil is used in many natural cosmetic products – especially in:

  • Face and body oils
  • Intensive care for very dry or flaky skin
  • Hair care products such as masks, leave-ins or scalp serums
  • Balms for the care of cracked skin areas (e.g. elbows, heels)

Special features / Who is it suitable for?

  • Ideal for dry, sensitive, mature or flaky skin
  • Also suitable for impure skin (non-comedogenic)
  • Effective for itchy or irritated scalp
  • Vegan, cold-pressed, organic-certified & fairly traded
