Many skin care brands turn to synthetic petrochemicals in their pursuit of skin hydration. We believe nature did a better job when it created avocados.
Avocado oil (Persea Gratissima) is a fantastic natural ingredient that provides a huge benefit when formulated into active skin care and anti aging products. The avocado (actually a fruit) is rich in proteins and fats, sterolin, anti-oxidants, lecithin and potassium. Studies have also shown avocado oil to actually increase collagen*, decrease wrinkles, and repair the effects of sun damage. Avocado oil penetrates deeply into the skin for fantastic hydration and relief of certain skin sensitivities.
In a well formulated cream it's non-occlusive, meaning it won't clog pores or encourage break outs...unlike coconut oil.

Proteins + Fats

Avocado oil is also beneficial and may provide relief for those individuals dealing with eczema, psoriasis, burns and skin sensitivities. If you want gorgeous skin, it's important to use healthy, safe ingredients, that actually provide a benefit. We believe Avocado oil is a great addition for those wanting hydration and the benefits of anti-aging.
