Almond oil

Almond oil is a natural emollient rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, primarily oleic (ω-9) and linoleic (ω-6), and contains vitamins A, E, and B complex, making it highly effective in nourishing, protecting, and regenerating the skin¹.

Thanks to its high content of lipids and phytosterols, it strengthens the skin barrier, promotes cell renewal, and reduces transepidermal water loss, thereby improving the skin’s elasticity and smoothness².

Almond oil also exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which protect the skin from oxidative stress, soothe redness and irritation, and slow down the skin’s aging processes³ ⁴.
