Why sweet almond is the go-to massage oil
For generations, sweet almond oil has been the first oil people buy, and often the one they buy again. Its fluid yet comforting texture glides for a long time under the hands, letting you slowly massage the back, legs or neck without pulling on the skin.
Rich in oleic acid and vitamin E, it nourishes the skin and leaves a soft, satin feel. With very little scent, it blends with every other oil: use it on its own, as a base to lighten a richer oil such as avocado, or with a few drops of hemp for an even lighter texture.
It is also a staple of family moments: baby's massage after the bath, care for dry hands in winter, or a Sunday hair oil bath.
