almond oil, sweet (Prunus amygdalus dulcis) is serves as an emollient and a carrier, providing an elegant skin feel and promoting spreadability in creams, lotions, and bath oils. Sweet almond oil’s main constituent is olein with a small proportion of linoleic acid glyceride. It is obtained from sweet almonds that have undergone a cleaning and crushing process, leaving them in powder form. The powder is then cold-pressed and left to “rest” for one to two weeks. After the resting period, the almond oil is filtered and often bleached. Sweet almond oil is the triglyceride oil (vegetable oil) derived from almonds, and is very similar in composition to olive oil.
