Almond oil is produced from ripe almonds, usually sweet almonds. The oil is extracted by pressing the nuts, which produce unrefined almond oil, or by extracting it by heat and chemicals, which produces refined almond oil. Sweet almond oil is best suited to the skin, as it contains Vitamin A, E, and Omega 3. It helps to soothe, soften and repair the skin. Due to its anti-inflammatory and emollient properties, as well as its high nutrient content, it is a popular ingredient for skincare.
