Description
Recently, avocado oil has become popular for use in the culinary world both as an ingredient in other foods and for cooking. High in monounsaturated fats and with a high smoke point (up to 480 degrees F), as a culinary ingredient, avocado oil compares well to olive oil.
Pressed from the fresh flesh of the avocado fruit, avocado oil could be considered the ultimate carrier oil. Avocados are also known as "Alligator Pear" and the oil from avocados has been used for centuries in beauty and skin care regimens of the indigenous people of Central and North America. High in oleic, palmitic and linoleic acids, avocado oil is known to be a moisture-providing oil and it possesses a high level of nutritional properties. It contains natural vitamins A and E which promote natural collagen production and has been said to be able to improve skin tone and texture. It also contains many anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial components including Alpha-tocopherol, Beta/Gamma-tocopherol and Delta-tocopherol in addition to other nutrients such as Folic Acid, Ascorbic Acid, Choline, Biotin, Lecithin, Squalene, and Sterolins. It works especially well on dry, dehydrated, damaged and mature skin and is also known to help treat the skin conditions of eczema and psoriasis. Highly penetrating and stable, it is yellow to slightly green in color and has a slightly fruity aroma.
