Read on to find out the incredible benefits of avocado oil for skin...

Avocado oil is extracted from the pulp of the fruit, not the seed. We source ours from the sun-drenched environment of New Zealand’s North Island. It’s an edible oil, and a clean and nourishing ingredient for skincare. To us, avocado oil is quite simply “Green Gold.”

It’s rich in antioxidants

Antioxidants help protect skin from the effects of free radical damage. Free radicals are the nasties which can speed up the signs of aging in your skin.

Avocado oil contains many antioxidants. It's packed full of Vitamin C. It also contains vitamin A. Plus, it has vitamins B, D, E, and K. Vitamins a-plenty!

What’s more, avocado oil contains a component called lutein. This helps to absorbs and filter UV light, offering protection from sun damage.

It's no wonder, then, that avocado oil is used in anti-aging skincare. It's why we include it in our anti-aging eye cream, Kiwi Seed Oil Eye Cream.

It's full of essential fatty acids

This wonderful oil is full of beta-carotene, proteins, lecithin, and fatty acids. These fatty acids have been shown to reduce inflammation and sun-damaged skin.

Avocado oil also has high levels of plant compounds called phytosterols. These mimic cholesterol, helping to prevent moisture loss in skin. With anti-inflammatory properties, they even help to rejuvenate tired and stressed skin.

It’s natural

We source our organic avocado oil from New Zealand nature. It’s free from toxins and nasties, so the skin benefits of avocado oil are preserved.

It moisturises skin

This super-powered oil floods the skin with moisture. It's used in moisturisers for dry skin because it makes skin beautifully dewy and supple.

Avocado oil doesn't just moisturise and protect dry skin. It also replenishes skin that needs hydration, making it natural skincare for dehydrated skin.

It can help boost collagen

Avocado oil’s secret ingredient is sterolin. This is a natural steroid that triggers the production of collagen. Collagen is essential in helping protect the skin from wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots. It’s the protein that makes skin plump and youthful!

Sterolin works together with the fatty acids and vitamins in avocado oil. The result: skin feels plumper and more radiant. It's not surprising, then, that we use avocado oil in our best-selling avocado face cream.

It penetrates skin

Avocado oil is one of the most deeply penetrating oils. It’s rapidly absorbed, so it soaks into the skin at rest, delivering immediate benefits.

It balances skin

Avocado oil helps to balance and regulate your skin's natural sebum production. That makes it effective for both oily skin and dry skin. It’s also suitable for sensitive skin conditions.
