Avocado Oil

Herbology Avocado Oil is 100% pure, cold-pressed Persea gratissima oil — one of the richest and most deeply nourishing carrier oils available, extracted from the flesh (not the seed) of premium avocados. Unlike most carrier oils that are seed-derived, avocado oil is a fruit oil — a distinction that gives it an exceptionally rich nutrient profile including oleic acid (~70%), palmitoleic acid (a rare omega-7 fatty acid), Vitamins A, D, and E, beta-sitosterol, and lecithin — making it one of the most comprehensively nourishing topical oils for mature, dry, and damaged skin.

Its palmitoleic acid content is particularly noteworthy — an omega-7 monounsaturated fatty acid that is naturally present in human skin but declines significantly with age, making avocado oil one of the most skin-compatible and age-appropriate oils for mature skin care. Its natural lecithin content acts as an emulsifier and penetration enhancer, helping the oil’s nutrients absorb more deeply into skin layers than most carrier oils. Its beta-sitosterol content supports skin barrier repair and has anti-inflammatory properties that soothe dry, irritated, or damaged skin. On hair, its rich fatty acid profile deeply conditions the hair shaft, reduces breakage, and adds a natural lustre. As a massage oil, its smooth, medium-weight texture provides excellent glide and lasting skin nourishment. A genuinely premium carrier oil for those who want the deepest possible botanical nourishment.

How to Use

• Face & body: Apply a few drops to clean skin and massage gently until absorbed. Particularly beneficial for dry, mature, or damaged skin. Best applied after bathing while skin is still slightly damp.
• Hair mask: Apply generously to hair and scalp, massage in, leave for 30–60 minutes or overnight, then wash out with shampoo. Use weekly for deep conditioning.
• Scalp treatment: Massage a small amount into scalp for 5–10 minutes to nourish follicles and improve circulation.
• Massage: Use alone or blend with lighter carrier oils (sweet almond or grapeseed) to adjust viscosity for your preferred massage texture.
• DIY formulations: Use as a primary nourishing carrier in creams, serums, and hair treatments. Particularly effective blended with rosehip oil for a comprehensive anti-aging facial oil.
• Tip: Avocado Oil has a naturally rich, slightly green-tinted colour and a mild, characteristic aroma — both signs of its unrefined, nutrient-dense quality. Blend with jojoba or grapeseed oil for a lighter texture if preferred for daily facial use.
