What is Sweet Almond Oil?
Sweet Almond Oil is a natural oil pressed from the kernels of sweet almonds. It’s light in texture and absorbs easily, making it a versatile base for many skincare products.
Nutrient-dense and gentle, it’s particularly well-suited to dry, reactive or delicate skin.
Five benefits of Sweet Almond Oil for the skin
Nourishes & Protects
Sweet Almond Oil delivers essential nutrients and lipids to the skin to enhance radiance and skin’s natural glow.
Softens Skin Texture
The Vitamin E, Vitamin A and essential fatty acids in this rich oil improve smoothness and elasticity to cultivate a soft, even texture.
Locks in Moisture
The lightweight emollient properties of Sweet Almond Oil help retain hydration without clogging pores.
Soothes Irritation
Naturally calming, it can reduce redness and sensitivity - ideal for skin prone to eczema, rosacea, or dryness.
Antioxidant Support
Rich in Vitamin E, Sweet Almond Oil protects against the oxidative stress and environmental damage that can lead to inflammation, redness and fine lines.
How to include Sweet Almond Oil in your skincare routine
Sweet Almond Oil works well as part of a calming, barrier-supportive skincare routine - especially when paired with other nourishing actives.
Start with a gentle cleanse.
Choose a low-foaming cleanser that won’t strip the skin. Sweet Almond Oil works well in a balm or oil-to-milk cleanser to dissolve makeup and retain moisture.
Follow with hydrating layers.
Use water-based serums first, then layer Sweet Almond Oil to seal in moisture and soothe the skin.
Use it as your final step at night.
A few drops can be pressed into the skin after moisturiser to lock in nourishment overnight.
Apply daily.
Regular use helps support the skin barrier, especially during colder months or periods of sensitivity.
How does Sweet Almond Oil work on the skin?
Sweet Almond Oil mimics the lipids naturally found in the skin barrier, helping to reinforce and protect it, so that moisture stays in and stressors stay out.
Its emollient properties soften the surface, while fatty acids and Vitamin E support deep nourishment and recovery. Skin appears visibly smoother, more comfortable, and better able to retain hydration.
