Avocado Oil

Avocado Oil is one of many popular carrier oils used in massage, aromatherapy, and other body-work treatments.

Avocado Oil (extracted from Persea gratissima Caertn., P. americana) is usually extracted by being expressed from dried avocado pears that cannot be sold as fresh fruit because they have been damaged. This carrier oil has a long longevity (shelf-life) but should not be stored in a refrigerator because some parts of the oil may precipitate i.e. form solids within the liquid oil, at low temperatures.

The therapeutic benefits of Avocado Oil are considerable and text books list these as including emollient properties, moistursing, softening, and anti-wrinke benefits, plus particular benefits for dry skins and for general skin inflammations.
