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.

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.
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.
I love this product and my customers love it too, I get all my oils from essentially natural and you never disappoint.
Happy with the product, I'm a long time cream and oil blender.
This is the third bottle of Sweet almond oil that I have bought from this supplier. Their service is quick and efficient and the oil is of a high quality. I use it for mixing my clays for my cold processed soaps.
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!
I initially ordered this almond oil because the price was reasonable. I use on my skin for a night treatment and it is magic.
This oil works wonders!
My hair loves this oil. I'm also using it for my ayurvedic hair oils. Love it!
One of my favourite carrier oils. Great Quality, excellent service and delivery always fast.
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.
I love this oil so much. So pure and great value for money. Delivery was super quick as well
I cannot go without sweet almond oil. This forms the base of many skincare as well as therapeutic recipes. Thanks to Essentiallt Natural, I can buy in large volumes at lower prices to keep my prices low.
I used it in a perfume blend as my carrier and also for facial massage. It’s great quality
Using this refined sweet Almond Oil on my sensitive eczema skin. It works wonders. It is non-irritant. I will recommend this product.
So I used a sample of sweet almond on my face Essentially Natural placed in my order as a free sample, when it got finished, my face literally wanted more of it. So I had to get myself a whole bottle 🥰
My friend's mom said I should try it on my stretch marks and it's working
I am fed up with the prices of decent skin care products and started to male my own and even for a few friend the change in quality in all of skins are immediately - I use this as my carrier oil in the products
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.
Use this on my hair & body, love it.
I use it as a body oil after showering in the evenings. It is light and absorbs easily, and does not have a strong scent.
Very nice oil oudourless
Beautiful oil for skin formulation- my clients love the oil in my skin formulations
I’ve been purchasing from essentially natural for a couple of years now and tried quite a few of their oils. It’s a great value for money & their oils are amazing I use it in my business when formulating and my clients love it as well.
Good. I use it in my skincare products. I'm loving these natural homemade products.
Fantastic Product. I use it in My Bee Product Cosmetic Skin Health Care
This Sweet Almond Oil is the perfect base for making herb-infused oils for beauty products.
It is sweet smelling and clear, equally hydrating and smooth. Love how it absorbs, leaving very little oily residue behind.
A really quality product and I love the fact that I have a choice of the size bottle I buy.
Top grade oil. Very pleased with performance in my cp soap making.
Such an amazing product for what i needed it for! Would definitely purchase it again!
Excellent quality and the packaging is great!
Love the communication up to the delivery! Great company delivering great products!
Fast delivery and Thier communication is "on point", thorough and they are very reliable.
This has been one of my favourite oils to use as a base for my hair, scalp and skin oils.
