Sweet Almond Oil (Prunus Dulcis) like so many of our clinically proven botanical active ingredients, dates back to ancient times, with Egyptians, Persians, Romans, and Greeks all mentioning it extensively in their writings. The Bible, including the book of Genesis, mentions almond trees and fruit dozens of times!

It is thought that the Romans introduced the trees into England, where they were cultivated and used as precious trade items all throughout Europe. Aside from its obvious food value (the Romans believed that almonds had the power to prevent intoxication), Sweet Almond Oil is an extremely valuable component of natural skin and hair care.

Rich in minerals such as magnesium, copper, manganese, calcium, and potassium, coupled with fatty compounds like linoleic acid and oleic acid, as well as vitamins E and K—all vital building blocks for the skin—almond oil has been an integral part of Ayurvedic medicine and used for various purposes for over 5,000 years in India. Almond oil also helps promote better circulation and is easily absorbed deep into the dermis.

The antioxidant polyphenol (phyto-nutrient) compounds contained in the oil help facilitate cellular turnover, which in turn promotes collagen building and increased elasticity, leading to decreased fine lines and wrinkles. It has also been demonstrated to reduce or prevent hyperpigmentation (darkening) caused by excessive exposure to sunlight, especially as the skin ages. It has been used traditionally in Ayurveda to help reduce dark circles around the eyes, largely due to its ability to help thicken the collagen layer, rendering the veins beneath the skin less visible.

ANTIOXIDANT DEFINITION: Antioxidants are just what the name implies—they help reverse, slow down, or prevent cellular oxidation. We call this cellular “rust,” as oxidation is what causes the breakdown and decomposition of everything on Earth... even something as impervious as iron to degrade and break down over time. Imagine what it can do to your skin and hair... Actually, you don't have to imagine, as the evidence for the aging process is all around us.
