ALMOND OIL Prunus dulcis L. APO Team GmbH

Almond oil,
the classic body care and base oil.

Pure almond oil (Prunus dulcis L.) is gentle and has a neutral scent. It is thin and absorbs quickly into the skin. Known as a neutral care oil, almond oil has long been used in infant, child, and elderly care and, due to its fatty acid composition and excellent skin compatibility, is particularly preferred by people with hypersensitive skin. It is highly recommended both as a body care oil for direct application to the skin and as a bath additive. Our almond oil is also available in an unbreakable PET plastic bottle.
