Avocado oil is an oil obtained by processing the avocado fruit and has been used in traditional cuisines of Mexico and Central America for centuries. Avocados were highly valued by the Aztecs and Mayans as a nutritious food and health source. In the modern world, avocado oil has become a popular natural product for skin and hair care.
Production: Avocado oil is obtained by the cold pressing method. The cold pressing method preserves the natural nutrients and vitamins of the oil, providing a high-quality product. The fleshy part of the avocado fruit and sometimes its seeds are used in the production of the oil. These parts provide the characteristic rich and creamy smell of the oil.
Color, Aroma and Smell: Avocado oil is usually light green or yellowish green in color and has a light, creamy and fruity smell. This smell creates both a nourishing and relaxing effect. Avocado oil is often used as a carrier oil and its scent note has a light, creamy and fruity profile. Its aroma strength ranges from low to medium, allowing it to be used in a balanced way in various formulations.
Storage: It is recommended that carrier oils obtained by cold pressing be stored in a cool, dark place to maintain freshness and achieve maximum shelf life. If stored in the refrigerator, bring to room temperature before use.
