It is highly valued in skincare for its deep moisturizing properties and its ability to deliver essential nutrients directly to the skin. Avocado oil is packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and healthy fatty acids, making it a powerful ingredient for maintaining healthy, hydrated skin.

Where does it come from?

Avocado oil is derived from the avocado fruit, which grows on the Persea americana tree, native to Central and South America. The oil is obtained by pressing the pulp of the fruit, which contains a high concentration of beneficial fats and nutrients. Today, avocados are cultivated in many parts of the world, including Mexico, the United States, and parts of Africa, where the oil is extracted and refined for use in skincare and other cosmetic products.
