Avocado Oil

Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil

Storage: Store in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep in an airtight container to prevent oxidation.
Shelf life: 12-24 months when stored properly. Cold-pressed, unrefined avocado oil may have a shorter shelf life due to its high nutrient content. Refrigeration can help extend its longevity.

Unrefined (cold-pressed): Retains the highest level of nutrients, has a greenish tint, and a mild nutty scent. Best for skincare and haircare.
Refined: Lighter in colour, less odour, and has a longer shelf life, but may lose some beneficial compounds.

Soothing: Reduces inflammation and irritation.
Antioxidant-rich: Protects against free radical damage and premature aging.

Non-comedogenic: Generally safe for acne-prone skin when used in moderation.
Hair care benefits: Nourishes and strengthens hair, reducing breakage and frizz.

Avocado oil is naturally neutral with a pH around 6.5 to 7, making it close to the skin’s natural pH. This means it won’t disrupt the skin’s acid mantle and is gentle for most skin types.

Avocado oil has a moderate absorbency rate. It’s rich and emollient, so it takes a bit longer to absorb into the skin compared to lighter oils. However, it provides deep hydration and nourishment once absorbed, making it ideal for dry or mature skin.
