Avocado Oil

Avocado Oil is an oil created from pressing avocados. It is primarily used for food, but has a variety of health benefits that make it ideal for both topical and nutritional use. Avocado Oil is high in Vitamins E and monounsaturated (healthy) fats. It is also known to have natural regenerative and moisturizing properties. In addition, native Guatemalans have used Avocado Oil as a hair loss cure as well as to stimulate healthy hair growth.

The Benefits of Avocado Oil

As a food source, Avocado Oil is as versatile as olive oil, but contains even healthier properties. It has a distinct flavor and is available year round, so there is a degree of freshness not often found in a variety of other oils. It is also high in vitamins A, D and E, as well as monounsaturated fats, so it is a highly nutritious oil for a variety of different meals.

However, Avocado Oil has made a name for itself in the field of cosmetic creams as well. It contains natural antioxidant properties, and is notorious for its ability to regenerate and moisturize skin cells. Its emollient properties make it as effective as many of the chemical skin care treatments, with avocado oil being the safer option.

Avocado Oil is also often found in natural hair loss treatments. The oil is high in vitamin E, which is known to stimulate hair growth, and it contains natural plant sterols which are known to reduce hair loss. It is also known to soothe sensitive skin and have its own natural antibacterial properties.

How Safe is Avocado Oil?

As evidenced by the use of Avocado Oil in food, the oil itself has a long history of being safe for regular use. Few people have allergies to the oil, and when used topically it does not cause skin irritation. While research continues to be conducted, especially in cosmetic products, all indications are that Avocado Oil does not cause any side effects.
