INCI: Prunus amygdalus dulcis oil

Sweet Almond Oil is a refined carrier oil used in face, body, massage, and hair care, as well as in DIY creams, soaps, scrubs, and cleansers. It has a pale colour, a smooth texture, and a light, non-greasy skin feel that makes it easy to use across many everyday routines. This is a carrier oil, not an essential oil, so it is especially useful as a base for properly diluted aromatic blends. Its versatility makes it a practical all-rounder for both direct use and formulation.

♡ Why we love it: We choose to stock Sweet Almond Oil because it is one of the most dependable multi-use carrier oils in natural making. It feels comfortable on the skin, works beautifully in massage and body care, and offers excellent value for makers who want one oil that can support many different projects.

Q: Can it be used as a carrier for essential oils?
A: Yes. It is commonly used to dilute essential oils for skin application.

A wonderful, gentle alternative for my toddler's sensitive skin

Finding products that work well for my toddler's eczema-prone skin has always been important to me, particularly when it comes to keeping her skin moisturised and comfortable.

I've previously used beeswax-based products, but with summer approaching, I wanted something lighter that would still provide the nourishment her skin needs.

This sweet almond oil has been such a lovely alternative! It's easy to apply, spreads beautifully, and leaves her skin feeling soft and moisturised without the heaviness of the products we've used before.

Within the first week or two, I was already pleased with how her skin felt, and I've really enjoyed incorporating it into her daily skincare routine.

What I appreciate most is its simplicity. Sometimes you don't need an elaborate skincare routine, just a gentle product that helps keep delicate skin moisturised.

A lovely addition to our summer skincare routine, and certainly something I'd recommend to parents looking for a lightweight moisturising oil.

Great for moisturisation

I bought this with the castor oil to mix for my face with some essential oils as a night serum, it did not disappoint. My skin is feeling so soft after only a week, the oil has no scent alone and mixes really well with the castor oil. I will be ordering more and look forward to finding new ways to use it.

Lightweight almond oil

Beautiful consistency! I recently stocked up on almond oil for my hair and this one is top tier! It’s super lightweight, has no scent and absorbs wonderfully into my high porosity hair. I swear over the past 3 weeks I’ve been using it, my hair has become much softer and manageable. Definitely recommend!

Good Product

A great oil and an impressive delivery experience. However I’m giving a 4 because there’s another brand that’s cheaper and smells sweeter which compliments my skincare products better.

Great for hair, face and body

Been using this almond oil for about three years now on my body, face and hair to lock in moisture. Great to use after spraying rosewater. Good carrier oil for massage oils and body oils. Always have two batches; one with Lavender and Sweet Orange Oil and sometimes with Frankincense and Myrr. A versatile queen. Love her.
