Sweet almond
Amygdalus dulcis · RosaceaeIn one paragraph
Sweet almond oil is the standard massage carrier, and has been for a long time. It is light, gives good slip without being greasy, has almost no scent of its own, and is well tolerated. It is high in oleic acid and vitamin E.
How Nurtur Health uses it
Sweet almond oil is used in the massage oil, where slip matters more than anything else a carrier can offer.
Traditional use
One of the oldest cosmetic oils in continuous use, traditionally the base for massage and for infant preparations.
