INCI: PRUNUS AMYGDALUS DULCIS OIL
Effect: moisturising, soothing, nourishing, caring, UV-protection

Sweet almond oil is a versatile skin care product with a variety of positive effects. The oil obtained by gentle cold pressing of sweet almonds is rich in vitamins A, B, D, and E and provides the skin with minerals calcium, potassium as well as magnesium. One of the most important properties of sweet almond oil is its ability to strengthen and stabilise connective tissue from within, resulting in firmer and tighter skin. The natural oil is good for sensitive skin types, as it helps soothe inflammation and calm the skin. Another benefit is that it contributes to a supple and even skin texture. It easily penetrates the skin and moisturises, reducing dryness and roughness. In addition, sweet almond oil also provides some protection against harmful UV rays. It acts as a natural sun protection factor (SPF) of about 15 and helps prevent cell damage from sun exposure.
