Sweet almond oil is one of the most popular carrier oils since it is non-greasy, spreads easily and is great for nourishing the skin. It is obtained from the dried kernels of the almond tree.

Being an excellent emollient it softens and soothes the skin and it also helps to balance its loss and absorption of moisture. It is suitable for all skin types, helps relieve irritation, inflammation and itching. It is a good lubricant because it doesn't penetrate too quickly,  allowing time for a good massage before it is absorbed by the skin. It also helps to relieve muscular aches and pains.
