Product Description
Unrefined Sweet Almond Oil: Your Golden Elixir for Skin and Hair
Discover the nourishing power of our Unrefined Sweet Almond Oil, a premium quality botanical oil sourced from Germany. This pale yellow liquid oil, obtained through cold pressing, retains its characteristic, subtly sweet aroma and a wealth of beneficial properties. Known by its botanical synonym Amygdalus communis L (INCI: Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis), this versatile oil is highly soluble in other oils and fats, making it an indispensable ingredient for a wide array of cosmetic formulations.
Description and Key Features
Unrefined Sweet Almond Oil is a classic in natural skincare and haircare, celebrated for its gentle yet effective moisturizing, soothing, and conditioning properties. Unlike its refined counterpart, unrefined almond oil undergoes minimal processing, preserving more of its natural vitamins (A, E, D, B complex), minerals, and fatty acids (oleic and linoleic acid), which are crucial for healthy skin and hair.
Key features and benefits:
- Gentle and Hypoallergenic: Universally recognized for its mildness, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, dry, and baby skin.
- Deeply Moisturizing: Rich in essential fatty acids, it provides excellent hydration, helping to soothe dry, flaky, or irritated skin and leaving it soft and supple.
- Nourishing and Conditioning: Delivers vital nutrients to both skin and hair, promoting overall health and vitality.
- Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Helps to calm irritated skin and reduce redness, beneficial for conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
- Antioxidant Protection: Contains Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect skin cells from damage caused by free radicals and environmental stressors.
- Hair Strengthening: Fortifies hair strands from root to tip, reducing breakage, enhancing elasticity, and adding a natural shine.
- Nail & Cuticle Health: Softens cuticles and strengthens nails, promoting healthier growth.
- Cold-Pressed Quality: Ensures that the oil retains its full spectrum of beneficial compounds, delivering maximum efficacy.

Instructions for Preparation:
- Sanitization: Ensure your dropper bottle and all measuring tools (beakers, pipettes) are thoroughly sanitized using isopropyl alcohol and allowed to air dry completely.
- Combine Carrier Oils: In a clean beaker, combine the Unrefined Sweet Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil, and Rosehip Oil. Stir gently to mix.
- Add Vitamin E Oil: Add the Vitamin E Oil to the blend. This acts as an antioxidant, helping to prolong the shelf life of your facial oil.
- Add Essential Oil: Carefully add the Lavender Essential Oil (or your chosen essential oil) to the blend. Stir gently to incorporate.
- Bottle: Carefully transfer the finished facial oil into your sanitized dropper bottle. Cap securely.
- Labeling: Apply a clear and informative label to your facial oil, including the product name, ingredients, and date of manufacture.
Recommendations for Application and Use:
- Purity: Using unrefined sweet almond oil ensures that you're getting the most beneficial nutrients for your skin.
- Dosage: This recipe uses a high concentration of sweet almond oil as the primary carrier. For other products, adjust the percentage of introduction according to the guidelines (e.g., 2-5% in emulsions, 8-15% in hair masks).
- Storage: Store the finished facial oil in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight, to preserve the integrity of the oils. Dark glass bottles are ideal for this purpose.
- Application: Apply 3-5 drops of the facial oil to clean, damp skin (after cleansing and toning) both morning and evening. Gently massage into the face and neck until absorbed. Can be used alone or layered under a moisturizer.
- Hair & Nails: This oil can also be used as a treatment for dry hair ends or to nourish cuticles and nails.
- 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, to check for any sensitivities or allergic reactions.
- No Candles: Remember, this oil is not suitable for use in candle making.
