![Almond oil]() | Almond oil | Almond (Prunus amagdala var dulcis)
Sweet almond oil is used extensively in aromatherapy massage. However, because it is quite thick and emollient, it is usually blended with sunflower oil (up to 75%) to give a smoother massage effect. Almond has little colour or smell, making it ideal to mix with the aromatic essential oils, is beneficial for eczema, dry skin, dermatitis and mature skin, and contains vitamins A, B1, B2 and B6. Almond will keep for up to 2 - 3 years in a dark, cool place. | | |
