Amazing Benefits of Sweet Almond Oil

Almonds are nutrition-rich food and called the “King of Nuts”. They are extremely high in vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants to offer a variety of benefits to our body. Almonds are consumed in the form of whole nuts, powder, paste and even oil. Edible sweet almonds are the source of sweet almond oil.

The oil is extracted from almonds by pressing them in a cold press machine. The extracted sweet almond oil is then used as an essential ingredient in cosmetic, medicinal and baking products.

What Is Sweet Almond Oil?

Sweet Almond Oil is the oil extracted from sweet almonds which are edible. It is usually made either by mixing the almond paste in olive oil or by pressing in a cold press machine. The extracted oil is then stored in a glass container for human usage and consumption.

Sweet Almond Oil Vs Almond Oil-

The basic Almond oil is the oil extracted by pressing the nuts in a machine. However, there are two versions of Almond Oils – Bitter Almond Oil and Sweet Almond Oil.

Bitter almond oil is commonly used to provide scent and flavor, while sweet almond oil is skin’s best friend.

This oil is full of vitamin E, vitamin A, mono saturated fatty acids, protein, potassium, and zinc.

Vitamin E is an extremely powerful antioxidant. Oxidative stress (A.K.A. when your body doesn’t have enough antioxidants to fight free radicals) is a major cause of the deterioration of your skin’s collagen layer.

Since collagen keeps your skin looking supple and wrinkle-free, you want to stave off oxidative stress with antioxidants. That’s where sweet almond oil comes in.

Thanks to the Vitamin E, it keeps your skin cells healthy, protects your skin from UV radiation damage, and helps your skin look smooth, soft, and free of fine lines.

The fatty acids help your skin retain moisture and can heal chapped and irritated skin.

Plus, the vitamin A can help reduce acne. Because the oil easily penetrates skin, it’s great for cleaning out the dirt and oil and accumulates in your pores. This process can prevent blackheads and acne from developing.

Because it’s packed with these vitamins and nutrients, sweet almond oil is a natural skincare superpower. If you’re worried about using oil on your skin—especially if you have oily skin—there’s no need to stress.

Sweet almond oil is mostly non-comedogenic, which means it’s unlikely to clog your pores.
