Avocados offer a treasure trove of benefits, not only for your well-being but also for your skin and hair. Grown all over the world our avocado oil undergoes cold-press extraction from the entire avocado, which boasts a high-fat content, sometimes reaching up to 30% oil. This oil comprises 71% monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), 13% polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), and is notably rich in oleic acid.

The presence of these fatty acids within avocado oil bestows a plethora of essential nutrients that work wonders for both your skin and hair. Avocado oil distinguishes itself as one of the few oils capable of deeply permeating the hair shaft, as opposed to merely forming a surface layer. This is primarily attributed to its significant MUFA levels. (monounsaturated fatty acids)

Avocado oil excels at fortifying them from within, helping to avert damage, enhance skin elasticity, and render hair more pliable. Furthermore, despite its richness in profoundly nourishing fatty acids, avocado oil refrains from clogging pores or causing hair to appear flat and oily.
