Persea Gratissima Oil

Avocado Oil

Avocado oil is pressed from the soft fruits of the avocado tree, centrifuged and filtered. It is praised for its skin benefits due to its rich composition of nutrients and antioxidants. It's an emollient oil similar to other non-fragrant plant oils. It has antioxidant properties and is a good source of skin-replenishing fatty acids. When properly produced, it is non-comedogenic.
