What are the benefits of avocado oil?

Avocado oil is a natural, plant-based product with many health benefits. It is obtained by mixing avocado pulp (an exotic fruit) with lukewarm water, forming a paste which will be kneaded and centrifuged. The material will then be “wrung out” in order to recover the oil by separating it from the water.

Avocado oil is the vegetable oil richest in vitamins (vitamin A, vitamin B3, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin H). It is also composed of fatty acids such as omega 3 and 9, potassium and lecithin.

The properties of avocado oil are multiple: for the beauty of hair, nails and skin, it represents an excellent anti-aging, nourishing, protective and restructuring active ingredient. In addition, thanks to its nutrients, avocado oil offers powerful cardiovascular benefits and the prevention of inflammatory diseases.

Be careful, however, you must choose 100% pure and natural avocado oil, without chemical treatments and first cold pressed to preserve all its benefits.
