Almond oil – soothing organic oil for dry & sensitive skin
Almond oil (Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil) has a soothing, nourishing and non-comedogenic effect – ideal for sensitive, very dry or irritated skin.
Introduction / Brief description
Almond oil (INCI: Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil ) is a particularly mild, skin-soothing plant oil from certified organic cultivation. Due to its optimal tolerability, it is a proven classic for sensitive, irritated, or very dry skin – even suitable for babies. The oil is characterized by an ideal fatty acid spectrum with a high proportion of linoleic and oleic acid, as well as antioxidant vitamins.
Origin & Production
The almond tree belongs to the rose family and is related to apricots, cherries, and peaches. It originates from Central Asia but is now primarily cultivated in the Mediterranean region. It is sensitive to frost, reaches a height of up to 8 meters, and bears pink blossoms as early as January. Cold-pressed almond oil is extracted from the ripe seeds – the hard almond kernels – by mechanical pressing. The green fruit shell is inedible.
Effect on skin and senses
Caring, anti-inflammatory & regenerating
Almond oil is rich in unsaturated linoleic acid (omega 6), which strengthens the skin barrier, improves moisture retention, and smooths the skin. The oleic acid (omega 9) it contains ensures deep penetration into the skin and lends it suppleness. Vitamins A and E have antioxidant, regenerating, and cell-protecting effects. The oil has anti-inflammatory properties and relieves symptoms of eczema or psoriasis. Due to its mildness, it is also suitable for the care of sensitive baby skin.
