Name Avocado Oil Description Avocado oil is a natural oil extracted from the pulp of avocados (Persea americana). It is rich in healthy monounsaturated fats, vitamins, and antioxidants, making it popular in both culinary and cosmetic applications. Avocado oil is a light to dark green oil with a slightly nutty aroma. It is extracted from the fruit of the avocado, unlike many oils that are extracted from seeds. Cold-pressed oil retains its nutrients and is high in oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid. Benefits Can increase collagen synthesis and promote wound-healing. Considerations • Skin Irritation
Avocado oil has a lot of nutrients, but it also is an oil high in oleic acid. Oils that lack linoleic acid can cause skin irritation by disrupting the acid mantle. This is largely an individual experience and depends on the fatty acid content of your natural skin. Research Sources https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35548366/
