Refined vs. Unrefined Almond Oil
Almond oil is a type of oil extracted from almond fruit seeds. Generally, refining oil strips away its essential nutrients. That is why unrefined almond oil is favored for culinary use.
Nutritional Benefits
With its richness in antioxidant vitamin E as well as unsaturated fats, almond oil is a contribution to a healthier diet. The intake of unsaturated fats in food decreases the risk of diseases such as heart disease and obesity and thus may support weight loss.

Almond Oil as Beauty Care
One of the most sought-after ingredients for use in natural beauty treatments, almond oil is gentle and soothing, making it ideal for skincare and hair care. It acts as an emollient, locking in moisture-in particularly ideal when hydrating dry or sensitive skin and softening hair.
Packed with vitamin E, almond oil may also protect your skin from sun damage and early aging. According to research, Vitamin E may protect against ultraviolet damage to skin cells by inhibiting DNA damage as well as other changes caused by UV exposure. Using the virgin form of the almond oil is pertinent in skincare due to higher levels of vitamin E, which could also help in minimizing the visibility of stretch marks.
In a study with 160 women, it showed how sweet almond oil decreased stretch marks on the abdomen and reduced redness and irritation.
Multifunctional oil can be a part of every dieting woman’s routine for easy and natural beauty treatments. You can apply it as light makeup remover, efficient moisturizing for skin and hair or an expensive massage oil.
