Sweet almond oil is one of the most valued ingredients in the cosmetics industry due to its softness, versatility and excellent skin tolerance. Although it is a classic, it remains a safe bet in modern formulas that prioritise natural, sensory and effective ingredients.

What is sweet almond oil?

100% plant-based, sweet almond oil is obtained from the ripe fruit of the Prunus amygdalus dulcis, and at Escuder we offer it in its refined version, suitable for natural and vegan cosmetics. It is a pale yellow liquid, practically odourless and with a soft and pleasant texture.

📌 Suitable for: Vegetarians and vegans

Key cosmetic properties

Sweet almond oil acts primarily as an emollient, but its benefits go far beyond that:

  • Moisturises and softens dry or sensitive skin
  • Protects the skin barrier
  • Provides elasticity and improves the appearance of skin prone to stretch marks
  • Nourishes eyelashes, nails and hair
  • Soothes irritations, minor wounds and minor burns
  • It is ideal as a natural make-up remover or massage oil

Thanks to its high proportion of essential fatty acids, such as oleic acid (60-76%) and linoleic acid (20-30%), it helps keep the skin supple and protected against dehydration.

Applications in cosmetics

This ingredient is widely used in products such as:

  • Nourishing face and body creams
  • Massage or body oils
  • Sunscreens
  • Body milks and after-sun lotions
  • Cosmetics for children and sensitive skin
  • Hair products and nourishing serums
  • Gentle and natural make-up removers

It can be incorporated in a wide range of concentrations, from 1-5% in creams to pure use as a treatment oil.
