Description Avocado carrier oil contains Vitamins A, B, D, E, and Beta carotene. It is a deeply penetrating monounsaturated oil and is best suited for very dry, mature, irritated, or sun-damaged skin and hair. A small amount of Avocado Oil (5-10%) is typically added to other carrier oils as it will enrich vitamin content and nourish the skin. It is used mostly by product makers (particularly so in soaps, lotions and creams). Refined Avocado carrier oil is slow to go rancid; users can expect a shelf life of at least 1 year under proper storage conditions (cool, out of direct sunlight). Refrigeration after opening is recommended. Directions Dilute to 5-10% in another carrier oil or use as an ingredient in aromatherapy projects.
