The sweet almond is a deciduous tree, bearing ornamental white or pale pink flowers. The trees grow best in Mediterranean-type climates and produce an edible nut.

Anti-dandruff, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, wound healing, hypoallergenic, immune stimulant, muscle relaxant, lubricating, soothing, nourishing.

Directions for Use:
Body / Skincare:
Well suited for use as an everyday body moisturiser & an excellent lubricant for the skin. This oil can be applied direct to the skin, or blended with essential oils for an aromatic body or massage oil.
Haircare:
Helps control hair loss, dandruff & soothes dry, flaky scalps. For a conditioning treatment, warm one tablespoon of oil, rub into the hair & scalp, then leave for 2-3 hours before washing out.
DIY / Tips:
Particularly rich in zinc, the deficiency of which causes brittle nails & white spots to appear. Apply a drop of warm oil on the nails & rub into the cuticles to improve nail health.
Skin Types:
Suitable for sensitive, dry, mature & sun-damaged skin. May be used on babies & children. Best avoided by those with oily, combination skin or acne, in favour of light-weight carrier oils.

Nutritional Value:
Rich in Vitamins E, K & B complex, plus traces of A, C & D.
Also contains plentiful amounts of oleic acid & linoleic acid, plus the minerals manganese, calcium, zinc, iron & selenium.

Production:
Cold-pressed & filtered without the use of solvents from the dried sweet almond kernels.
By contrast, the chemically extracted product is often misleadingly sold as cold-pressed.
A chemical extraction process significantly reduces the nutritional value of the oil.
