Sweet Almond Carrier Oil - 100ml

Sweet almond oil is a pale, nearly colourless carrier oil pressed from Prunus amygdalus dulcis, prized for its very light texture and gentle, nourishing feel on the skin.

Spiritual meaning and traditional uses

Native to the Middle East and South Asia and long cultivated across southern Europe, the almond tree has a deep history in folk skincare traditions. Its oil is one of the most widely used carrier oils in aromatherapy, often chosen as a base for massage because it glides smoothly across the skin, absorbs at a steady pace, and leaves it feeling moisturised rather than oily. Many people also use it on its own as a simple, all-over emollient.

How to use

• Use as a base to dilute essential oils before applying to skin
• Apply for massage, allowing the oil to glide and absorb gradually
• Use alone as a light, all-over skin moisturiser
• Patch test on a small area before wider use
• Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight
