Avocado Oils

Virgin Avocado Oil

Virgin

Oil obtained from the pulp of Persea americana fruit. It is characterised by an oleic acid content typically around 50–74%, alongside palmitic, palmitoleic and linoleic acids. Mechanical extraction better preserves the sensory character and natural constituents of the oil, making it suitable for applications that value its original identity. Its main uses are in food, cosmetics and skin and hair care formulations.
