Almond Oil

Almond Oil, Sweet  Shelf-Life:6 months-1 yr.

One of the top choices of Aromatherapists as it is good for all skin types. A  very good massage oil it is beneficial  for dry skin and helps relieve itching, soreness and dryness. It is reported to be soothing, healing, lubricating, softening, revitalizing and nourishing.  Good for sensitive or irritated skin.    This oil is a very pale yellow with a slight nutty odor. It is a little heavier than other oils and may stain the sheets if you use it in massage.

It is an excellent skin lubricant and contains olein glyceride linoleic acid.  It is rich in minerals, vitamins and proteins.  Note: Sweet Almond oil is considered to be a good all-purpose carrier oil to keep on hand and is moderately priced. 

Do not confuse this oil with Bitter Almond Essential Oil:  That particular oil is never used in aromatherapy as it may cause prussic acid poisoning.
