Avocado Oil - Organic

Avocado oil (Persea americana) is highly-penetrating, and deeply nourishes and softens dry skin. It is a deep emerald-green color with a thick and rich texture. Excellent blended with other carrier oils and/or essential oils.

• Prevents chapping, cracks and stretch marks
• Strong UV absorption properties make it an ideal oil to offer light UV protection for the skin
• Excellent moisturizer for the skin
• High degree of penetration into the epidermis
• Promotes cell regeneration
• Used for skin inflammation
• Used to clean the skin
• Has a high sterol content (about 10%) and is used as a carrier for arthritis pain blends
• Has a high % of Vitamin D and is useful for people living in low sunshine areas
• Used for post menopausal women who have aging skin

This is the only carrier oil we sell that I recommend leaving at a cool room temperature rather then in the refrigerator. Avocado has a 1-2 year shelf life, and it is recommended that it is not kept in the refrigerator as it forms deposits and it congeals.  If it does become more solid, just set the bottle of oil in warm water.
