Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil description

_Prunus amygdalus dulcis_ (sweet almond) oil is a non-volatile, non-fragrant oil extracted from the seeds of almonds and used as an emollient and to help skin retain moisture. Almond oil is a rich source of skin-replenishing ingredients including triglycerides and several fatty acids (oleic, linoleic, and myristic among them). In addition to these benefits, as with all non-fragrant plant oils, sweet almond oil has antioxidant properties. It is not known to cause sensitivity; however, it is contraindicated for use by those with nut allergies.
