INCI: Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil
Lightweight botanical nourishment for soft, conditioned skin and hair.
What Is Sweet Almond Oil?
Sweet Almond Oil is a versatile botanical oil obtained from the kernels of sweet almonds, Prunus amygdalus dulcis. Valued for its smooth texture and excellent spreadability, it has long been used in facial, body, massage, and hair-care formulations.
Its naturally occurring fatty-acid profile provides effective emollience without the substantial weight of some richer botanical oils, making it especially useful in formulas designed to condition while maintaining an elegant skin feel.
Benefits
Sweet Almond Oil helps soften and condition dry skin while supporting the skin's natural moisture barrier. Its emollient properties help reduce moisture loss and leave the skin feeling smoother, more supple, and comfortably nourished.
In hair and scalp formulations, Sweet Almond Oil provides lightweight lubrication and conditioning. It helps soften the hair, improve manageability, and provide slip while also conditioning dry-feeling areas of the scalp.
Fatty Acid + Nutrient Profile
Sweet Almond Oil is naturally rich in oleic acid and also contains linoleic acid, two fatty acids valued for their roles in botanical skincare and conditioning formulations.
It also contains naturally occurring vitamin E and other minor plant components that complement its nourishing lipid profile. Together, these characteristics make Sweet Almond Oil a versatile foundation for both skin and hair-care products.
Why We Use Sweet Almond Oil
At Pure Intox, Sweet Almond Oil is selected for its balance of nourishment, spreadability, and conditioning. In Botanical Body Oil, it helps create a smooth application while contributing lasting softness without an excessively heavy finish.
In Botanical Hair & Scalp Oil, it works alongside complementary botanical oils to condition the scalp and facial or head hair while providing the glide needed to distribute the oil evenly through the hair and across the scalp.
Sourcing & Quality
Sweet Almond Oil is obtained from the kernels of Prunus amygdalus dulcis and selected for cosmetic purity, consistency, and stability.
Appropriate processing and storage help protect its naturally occurring fatty acids and maintain the smooth sensory characteristics that make it valuable in botanical skin and hair-care formulations.
