Avocado oil is an all-natural oil derived from American avocados. Vegetable derived oils date back to Biblical times, when they were mixed with fragrant herbs to create traditional ointments. Avocado oil is a nutrient-rich oil that contains Amino Acids, Proteins and Vitamins A, D and E. Heavier in texture than many other vegetable derived oils, Avocado Oil moisturizes and softens even dry, cracked skin and increases elasticity. It is also a great massage oil with no greasy residue.
