NOW Foods Avocado Oil is a 100% pure expeller-pressed oil from Persea gratissima — a deeply nourishing, rich carrier oil prized for its exceptional content of oleic acid (70-80%), vitamin E, vitamin D, and beta-sitosterol. Avocado oil's unique fatty acid profile and natural sterol content make it particularly supportive for dry, mature, or damaged skin — it penetrates deeply, nourishes intensely, and leaves a lasting protective barrier without clogging pores. It is used in facial serums, anti-aging formulations, hair masks, cuticle treatments, and massage blends. Heavier than almond or jojoba oils, avocado oil is often blended with lighter carrier oils to balance its rich texture. NOW Foods' Avocado Oil is expeller-pressed without hexane solvents for maximum purity and packaged in UV-protective bottles to preserve the integrity of its delicate unsaturated fats.
