Q: Is this oil suitable for skin and hair care?
A: Yes. It is commonly used in both skincare and haircare formulations for its softening and conditioning feel.

Q: Does refined avocado oil have a strong smell?
A: No. Because it is refined, it has a mild odour and little colour, which makes it easy to use in fragranced or lightly scented products.

Q: Can I use this as a carrier oil?
A: Yes. It works well as a carrier oil for body oils, massage blends, and hair oil formulations.

Q: Why has my avocado oil become thick or waxy?
A: Avocado oil can thicken or form a waxy layer at cooler temperatures. This is a normal characteristic of the oil and not a sign that it has gone off.

Q: What does it blend well with?
A: It blends well with other carrier oils and plant butters, especially when you want a richer, more nourishing skin feel.
