Cold Press Almond Oil

Cold Press Almond Oil

Overview

Cold pressed almond oil is a rich, multi-functional oil derived from almonds (Prunus dulcis) with a mild, sweet almond-like fragrance and a non-greasy feel. Unlike almond oil obtained using chemical extraction processes, which can compromise the natural delicate notes and nutrients, cold pressing is widely used both in the cosmetics and food industries to maintain the integrity of the oil.

Chemical Composition

Cold pressed almond oil does not undergo any heat treatment or use chemical solvents, thus fully preserving the nutrient profile, including essential vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids, from the almonds. This gentle extraction process results in a light oil that is easily absorbed into the skin, making it less oily and more beneficial for skincare and haircare applications.

Uses of Cold Pressed Almond Oil

Skincare:

Cold pressed almond oil is a well-known natural moisturizer suitable for all skin types. Its light formula and mild nature make it ideal for cleansing the face, neck, and body. It may help:

  • Moisturize dry skin and rejuvenate it.

  • Soothe irritation and inflammation.

  • Minimize the signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles with regular use.

  • Gently remove makeup when used with pads and brushes.

Haircare:

Cold pressed almond oil can be used as a conditioner or treatment for hair. It may help:

  • Nourish dry, brittle hair.

  • Add shine and manageability.

Massage:

Cold pressed almond oil is widely used as a carrier oil in combination with essential oils due to its dry, silipid nature, which helps to increase the slipping rates of essential oils on the skin.
