Organic Sweet Almond vegetable oil is a vegetable oil obtained by cold pressing almonds from the almond tree ( Prunus dulcis ), grown without pesticides.
It contains linoleic acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid that participates in the formation and cohesion of ceramides (lipids of the epidermis). The latter helps to form the hydrolipidic film and prevent water loss from the skin. Sweet Almond oil also contains oleic acid, which supports linoleic acid, thus strengthening the hydrolipidic film. And Sweet Almond oil contains nourishing and softening active ingredients that give softness and elasticity to the skin. Finally, the palmitic acid contained in Sweet Almond oil calms any itchy skin while phytosterols soothe inflammation.
