Avocado oil is especially beneficial for dry, dehydrated and inflamed skin. It has a reputation of having a higher degree of penetration into the epidermis than most carrier oils and has a moisturising and softening affect on the skin.

Avocado oil is rich in minerals (potassium, phosphorous, magnesium, sulphur, calcium, sodium and copper), vitamins (A, B1, B2 and D) and lecithin. The oil is rich in chlorophyll, the reason for the fruits dazzling green colour. Avocado oil is a clear-green almost viscous liquid.
