What is Sweet Almond Oil?
Read all about the benefits of sweet almond oil here. Almonds are commonly known as the ‘king of nuts’ and is categorised into the same food groups as peaches and cherries; due to their high concentration of nutrients and natural oils. These nuts pack a powerful nutritional punch; not only when you eat them, but whenever you use their oil extracts on your skin too.

Moisturises and helps with Anti-aging:
Almonds are packed full of vitamin E, which is a strong antioxidant that helps nourish, moisturise and replenish our skin as we age. The protein that is responsible for keeping our skin supple and young is called collagen. This protein forms an even layer under our skin and as we age it gradually thins, causing fine wrinkles in our skin as the padding of collagen begins to become uneven. However, the high concentration of vitamin E in sweet almond oil helps give our skin the amino acids it needs to help cultivate collagen.
