Organic unrefined avocado oil is an emollient, highly permeating, anti-aging, and healing oil with a characteristic dark green color. It is rich in vitamins A, C, D, and E, as well as mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Avocado oil’s emollient and highly permeating attributes make it particularly effective at maintaining the skin’s barrier function (which is beneficial for preventing moisture loss) and nurturing the skin, scalp, and hair. The vitamin A content of avocado oil helps to reduce and reverse signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging. Vitamin C helps to gently exfoliate the skin to produce a brighter and even skin tone. The Vitamin E and fatty acids in avocado oil combine with water molecules in the skin, hair, and scalp to facilitate moisture retention; they also provide protection against UV damage. Topical use of avocado oil has also been shown in studies to increase skin collagen density and tensile strength, decrease inflammation in bruised skin, and significantly increase wound contraction or healing.
