PURE AVOCADO OIL

How to use avocado oil

It can be used in very simple ways.

First of all: in direct application on the skin and face. You only need a few drops to let it fade, for your daytime skin care and for its anti-acute effects and on the prevention of oxidation of your cells. If the smell is too strong for you, you can for example combine it with Jojoba Precious Oil: your mixture will then have a more neutral smell.

As a pre-shampoo mask, avocado is a very powerful ally for strengthening raw, dry or brittle hair. Apply directly to your lengths and ends, and leave on for about 30 minutes. If you have the opportunity, you can also leave it overnight in a warm towel. A little trick is to rinse your hair with fresh water in order to tighten the hair follicles. Your hair will then be stronger and shinier, all naturally!

Avocado oil or sweet almond oil?

The two oils are quite similar and often recommended for the same uses.

That said, our avocado oil has a drier feel than sweet almond oil (which is, for example, used more for massages, as it penetrates less into the skin and therefore lasts longer during a body massage.

Concerning its smell, the nôtre is quite marked, against the sweet almond oil which is quite standardized and therefore more prédictible, à you thus to see according to your préférences.

Concerning its use for the face, both oils are very effective in making your skin soft and nourish it deeply, so we will let you judge according to the sensoriality and smell what you prefer.

For the hair, especially as a mask, we recommend avocado rather than sweet almond: the effects are more important and also last longer.

What are the benefits of avocado oil?

When we talk about avocado oil, we often talk about its benefits for the hair before anything else. It is true that it is very effective in this case, but it is far from limited to its effects on your hair. On the body, on the face, or as a makeup oil, avocado oil is one of the essential oils to have in your bathroom.

It has a very useful antioxidant action on the skin's surface, and is particularly effective in preventing stretch marks.

It participates in maintaining the function of the cell membrane thanks to its natural starch, and has a mollient effect on the skin (it makes it softer!). It is an oil that can be preserved quite easily (its recommended shelf life is 4 to 6 months, even more if it has been preserved away from light and heat). It also tolerates very well the mixtures with essential oils such as those of ylang ylang for the scent of the little or the rose géranium for anti-acute;ge effects.

Does avocado oil make your hair grow and how to use it on your hair?

Avocado is mostly talked about for nourishing hair, not for hair growth. For hair growth (and then slowing down hair loss), we recommend more the vegetable mustard oil or even the pure castor oil.

It is on the other hand excellent as a mask to soften your hair, prevent knots and regenerate your hair fiber. That's why you'll find it in the composition of excellent hair care products or in those of hair balms.

What does it smell like and how is it extracted?

Our avocado oil has a marked smell. We wanted an oil as raw as possible, far from neutralized oils (because heated to the point of losing their nutrients, or refined). We wanted an oil of first cold pressure, with still a little pulp of the fruit for more effectiveness.

Our oil is therefore derived from the raw avocado pits, without touching them, and the oil is obtained by pressing à Madagascar, the other parts of the plant are not involved, unlike the manufacture of essential oils which does not extract the components present in the leaves, flowers or fruits rather when in the oléagineous parts.

Its color is deep green/brown depending on the batch, and it is an oil that can vary greatly depending on the seasons and locations of the Great Britain where the avocado trees come from and the composition of the soil where they grow.
