Sweet almond oil (Prunus amygdalus var. dulcis) is a great vegetable oil that
is one of the most used carrier oils in aromatherapy massage, and this is
understandable since it has a fine texture, is easily absorbed, and helps to
leave the skin soft and satiny smooth yet it is non-greasy and easily absorbed.
A member of the Rosaceae family and a relative of the Peach and Apricot, the
Almond tree is native to Barbary but cultivated in the Mediterranean and
California. It bears soft cream blossoms with yellow centres, which appear
before the leaves.
Sweet Almond Oil is obtained from the dried kernels of the almond tree and it is
an excellent emollient (softening and soothing to the skin) and also helps the
skin to balance its loss and absorption of moisture.
Rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, B6 and E. An ideal basic carrier oil, nourishing and
protecting to the skin. Calms skin irritation. Can be used on its own or with
other carrier oils. Good keeping qualities as it contains vitamin E. This is the
most widely used carrier oil.
It is further a great moisturizer suitable for all skin types, helps relieve
irritation, inflammation and itching, and is greatly lubricating and because it
is not an overly fast penetrating oil, it is a good massage medium to use to
help spread the oil and essential oil mixture, while still allowing you time to
do a good massage before it is absorbed by the skin.
