PRUNUS AMYGDALUS DULCIS OIL

Prunus amygdalus dulcis oil, also known as sweet almond oil, is a vegetable oil obtained from the seeds of the almond tree (Prunus amygdalus). This is rich in mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic and oleic acid, which are also naturally found in the skin barrier. The vegetable oil is well tolerated and makes even dry skin supple. (1) Additionally, sweet almond oil contains large amounts of vitamins E and K, which promote skin regeneration and maintain its elasticity. (2)
