As a versatile carrier oil, it's easily soluble in other oils and fats, making it an indispensable ingredient for countless homemade beauty formulations.

Description and Key Features

Our Unrefined Sweet Almond Oil (INCI: Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis), also known by its synonym Amygdalus communis L, is celebrated for its exceptional emollient and nourishing qualities. Unlike refined versions, the unrefined oil preserves more of its natural vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids, including oleic acid (omega-9) and linoleic acid (omega-6). These components contribute to its remarkable ability to hydrate, soften, and protect the skin and hair.

Key features and benefits:

• Superior Hydration: Deeply moisturizes the skin, improving its softness and smoothness without leaving a greasy residue. It helps to lock in moisture, combating dryness and flakiness.
• Rich in Nutrients: Abundant in Vitamins A, E, and B, as well as essential fatty acids, it nourishes the skin and hair, promoting overall health and vitality.
• Gentle and Soothing: Its mild nature makes it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, irritated, or baby skin. It helps to calm redness and discomfort.
• Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Possesses natural anti-inflammatory qualities that can aid in soothing irritated skin conditions.
• Strengthens and Protects: Helps to reinforce the skin's natural barrier and improve hair elasticity, reducing breakage and adding shine.
• Characteristic Sweet Scent: Carries a natural, subtle sweet aroma, adding a pleasant sensory experience to your formulations.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitize: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, oil bottles) with isopropyl alcohol and allow them to air dry completely.
2. Combine Carrier Oils: In a clean beaker, combine the Unrefined Sweet Almond Oil and Jojoba Oil. Stir gently to mix.
3. Add Vitamin E: Add the Vitamin E oil to the mixture. Stir again.
4. Add Essential Oils: Carefully add your chosen essential oil blend. Stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the fragrance.
5. Add Dry Flower Petals (Optional): If using, add a small amount of dry flower petals directly into your clean body oil bottle for an added aesthetic touch.
6. Bottle: Carefully pour the finished body oil into your sanitized oil bottle.
7. Cap and Label: Securely cap the bottle and apply a clear label with the product name and ingredients.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Optimal Dosage: Using 80% Unrefined Sweet Almond Oil provides an incredibly rich and nourishing body oil. You can adjust the percentage (from 5% to 50% for dry oil sprays) depending on the desired texture and application.
• No Heat: As this is an unrefined, cold-pressed oil, avoid heating it to high temperatures to preserve its beneficial compounds and natural scent. All ingredients should be mixed at room temperature.
• Storage: Store the finished body oil in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its freshness and extend its shelf life. The Vitamin E helps as an antioxidant.
• Application: Apply generously to clean, damp skin after showering or bathing to lock in moisture. Massage gently until absorbed. A little goes a long way!
• Versatility: This base oil can be customized with various essential oil blends to create different aromatic experiences (e.g., citrus for uplifting, cedarwood for grounding).
• Patch Test: Always perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin (e.g., inner forearm) before widespread use, especially if you have sensitive skin or are new to an ingredient or essential oil.
