AVOCADO OIL CRUDE FAIR FOR LIFE ORGANIC 25KG PLASTIC JERRYCAN
EarthOil’s Avocado Oil comes from the Mount Kenya and Thika regions of the Kenyan Highlands, where hundreds of small-scale farmers, grow avocado trees. Organic vegetable oil suitable for a wide range of end applications. Avocado (Persea Gratissima) trees grow to 10–20 meters high and bear large, pear-shaped fruits that have a green, fleshy body and a leathery green or blackish skin, a large stony seed, and a greenish-yellow edible pulp. The avocado was first grown in Mexico approximately 9,000 years ago. The Aztecs named the avocado ahuacatl, which means “butter of the forest,” because of its high-fat and nutrient-dense properties. In contrast to most other vegetable oils, Avocado Oil comes from the flesh instead of the stone of the fruit and was therefore one of the easiest oils to extract by the early civilizations.

Features and Benefits
Considered as one of the most suitable and effective cosmetic oils, Avocado Oil is used as a base product in many skin and hair care preparations. Recommended for dry, mature or damaged skin, it is commonly used in formulas such as creams, lotions, body butters, sun care products, hair oils or lip balms. Viscous yet very spreadable, heavy yet nourishing, it is excellent for protecting the skin from moisture loss. It was characterized in our sensory profile study of vegetable oils. It is more easily absorbed by the skin than many other cosmetic oils. Indeed, this is partly due to its content of palmitoleic acid, which is relatively rare in vegetable oils. Avocado Oil reveals a very high monounsaturated fatty acid level, indicating its high content of omega 7 (C161 Palmitoleic Acid) and omega 9 (C181 Oleic Acid). This oil is also appreciated for its rich unsaponifiable fraction (3-10%) that contains sterols, phytosterols and different vitamins such as tocopherols or carotenoids.
