Overview

Known as the "superfood" of the carrier oil world, Unrefined Avocado Oil is a rich, dense, and ultra-nourishing oil cold-pressed directly from the flesh of South African avocados. Because it is unrefined, it retains its natural pale yellow to deep green-yellow color and its full spectrum of skin-food nutrients—including Vitamins E, A (beta-carotene), B, C, D, K, and essential fatty acids. Its occlusive and deeply regenerative nature makes it the ultimate treatment for parched skin, mature complexions, and brittle hair.

  • Anti-Ageing & Collagen Support: High Vitamin E and antioxidant content helps combat free radicals, boost collagen synthesis, and restore elasticity to mature skin.

  • Eczema & Psoriasis Soothing: Provides a protective, non-irritating barrier that soothes inflammation, tightness, and redness during skin flare-ups.

  • Environmental & After-Sun Repair: Protects and revitalizes skin exposed to harsh sea air, seasonal winds, and sun damage.

  • Deep Hair Conditioning: Penetrates the hair shaft to nourish dry, damaged hair, tame frizzy textures, soothe dry scalps, and support healthy hair growth.
