Collection: Sweet Almond Oil

Base Oils & Butters

Prunus amygdalus dulcis

Sweet almond oil is cold-pressed from the kernels of the sweet almond tree, cultivated for centuries across the Mediterranean, Middle East, and California. One of the most widely used carrier oils in natural skincare and massage, it is beloved for its mild, slightly nutty aroma, its golden color, and its gentle, universally well-tolerated skin feel.

Rich in oleic and linoleic acids as well as vitamins A and E, sweet almond oil is a reliable all-purpose conditioning oil that works across a wide range of skin types and formula types, from facial oils to body care to massage blends.

How It Works

Sweet almond oil's high oleic acid content makes it an excellent emollient, softening and conditioning the skin without a heavy or greasy finish. It absorbs at a moderate rate — slower than very lightweight oils like squalane, but without the richness of heavier oils like tamanu, making it a versatile middle-ground carrier that pairs well with almost any other oil in a formula.

Skin Feel

Skin feel: Smooth, moderately lightweight, universally gentle
Best for: All skin types, massage, body care, facial blends
