Avocado oil is extracted from the pulp of avocado fruit, Persea americana. It is high in vitamin E, that acts as an antioxidant that softens, moisturizes, and protects skin from cellular damage. Vitamin E also naturally occurs in skin sebum, although this naturally declines with age.
In Skincare
Avocado oil is found in many herbal skincare and hair conditioner recipes. Not only is avocado oil high in vitamin E, it is also high in vitamin A, oleic acid, and palmitoleic acid.
