Avocado Oil

Description

Like the fruit it's derived from, avocado oil is high in essential fatty acids and fat soluble vitamins. Avocado oil is deeply moisturizing and often recommended for those with sensitive skin and other skin problems, like eczema. Use with other carrier oils. If you're allergic to latex, however, you may also have problems with avocado oil (lucky me!), so I suggest doing a small skin test before spreading this carrier oil all over your skin. Trust me. Energetics: Avocado oil is grounding and cooling. It is extremely helpful in cases of very dry skin, and in cases of high stress. If combined with chamomile or lavender oil, an avocado oil massage can relieve symptoms of PMS or poor sleep. However, it is best to blend avocado oil with other, lighter oils such as safflower oil, as it is very intense by itself.
