Sweet almond oil is an oil extracted from the seeds of the sweet almond tree and has been used throughout history for health and beauty purposes. Sweet almonds have been a recognized food since ancient Egyptian and Greek times, and these cultures discovered the positive effects of almond oil on skin and hair. In the modern era, sweet almond oil is widely used in cosmetics and personal care products.

Sweet almonds grow mainly in the temperate regions of the Middle East and Southeast Europe. The sweet almond trees growing in these regions provide high quality and nutritious seeds.

Production: Sweet almond oil is obtained by cold pressing or refining. The cold pressing method preserves the oil’s natural nutrients and effective components, ensuring a high quality product. The refining process can make the oil lighter and with a neutral odor. In the production of the oil, the ripe seeds of the sweet almond fruit are used. These seeds provide the oil with its characteristic light and pleasant odor.

Color, Aroma and Fragrance: Sweet almond oil is usually light yellow to dark golden in color and has a light and sweet fragrance profile. This scent creates a relaxing effect in skin care and aromatherapy. Sweet almond oil is often used as a carrier oil and the fragrance note is light and sweet. Its aroma strength ranges from low to medium, making it ideal for blending with other oils and using in various formulations.

Storage: It is recommended that carrier oils obtained by cold pressing be stored in a cool, dark place to preserve freshness and achieve maximum shelf life. If stored in the refrigerator, bring to room temperature before use.
