Believe it or not, the almond is actually a part of the rose family. Believed to originate from Western Asia, the almond makes an oil that has a faint, light fragrance making it a fantastic carrier oil for mixing blends and massage oils. Sweet almond oil contains a variety of nutrients: Vitamin A, vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids and zinc, all beneficial for skin health. Often used in skincare for its nutrient and moisturising properties, sweet almond oil makes for a good makeup remover, cleaner, and moisturiser - for both body and face. Sweet almond oil also contains anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce swelling associated with acne and can be used to treat minor cuts and wounds.
