Botanical Name: Persea gratissima Botanical Family: Lauraceae
· Method: Cold Pressed (from the fruit pulp)
· Texture/Absorption: Rich, thick, and heavy; slow to absorb but deeply penetrating.
· Color: Deep olive green (unrefined) to pale yellow (refined).
Unlike most carrier oils that are pressed from seeds or nuts, Avocado oil is pressed from the fleshy pulp of the fruit itself. It is an incredibly "active" oil—Lawless notes its high unsaponifiable content (plant sterols), which gives it exceptional healing power. It is often described as a "specialty oil," frequently blended with lighter carriers to boost their nutritional value.
A powerhouse of nutrients, containing Vitamins A, B1, B2, D, and E. It is particularly high in Lecithin and Potassium, and its fatty acid profile is dominated by Oleic acid (Omega-9), making it highly stable and intensely moisturizing.
· Face: Ideal for extremely dry, mature, or sun-damaged skin. It helps to soften the skin and is believed to help increase soluble collagen in the dermis.
· Body: Excellent for targeting rough patches like elbows, knees, and cracked heels. It is often used for skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis where the skin barrier is compromised.
· Hair: A superb deep-conditioning treatment for brittle, dry, or chemically-treated hair. It helps to seal the cuticle and provide a lustrous shine.
1. Intensive Hand/Foot Mask: Massage a generous amount of Avocado oil into hands or feet before bed, then cover with cotton gloves or socks to wake up with deeply hydrated skin.
2. Post-Sun Soother: Blend Avocado oil with a few drops of Lavender to help soothe and "feed" skin that has been overexposed to the sun or wind.
Due to its heavy viscosity and strong scent, it is best used at 10–25% dilution in a lighter base like Sweet Almond or Apricot Kernel. It pairs exceptionally well with "earthy" or "green" essential oils like Rosemary, Patchouli, or Carrot Seed.
· Safety: Generally non-toxic and non-sensitizing. However, because it is so rich, it may be too heavy for those with oily or acne-prone skin (it is moderately comedogenic).
· Storage: Avocado oil is quite stable. If stored in a cool, dark place, it has a shelf life of approximately 12–18 months. (Unrefined oil may go cloudy in the fridge; this is normal).
Available Sizes: 50ml, 100ml, 500ml
