Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is there a difference between sweet and bitter almonds?
Yes, a significant one. Sweet almond oil is the one used in cosmetics, safe and without limitations. Bitter almond oil contains amygdalin and is used for its aroma, but it requires strict purification to eliminate toxic hydrocyanic acid.
How does it differ from refined almond oil?
Unlike the refined variant, unrefined almond oil retains its golden-yellow color, its natural nutty scent, and its complete native concentration of phytosterols and vitamins. It is slightly richer and absorbs more slowly into the skin.
How does it differ from apricot kernel oil?
The profile is similar, as both are dominated by oleic acid. Apricot kernel oil absorbs somewhat faster. Almond oil is denser and more protective, while apricot kernel oil is more fluid, absorbs quickly, and is preferred especially for face care.

A precious oil. I have bought other brands before, with even higher prices, and they were not superior in quality. Well worth buying!
I got it for the rosemary oil concentrate blend. I've heard it's the best. It's a diluent oil though, so it's probably fine. I can't complain about anything
The almond oil is a special oil with many uses.Besides the fact that we use it for massage I bought it especially for creating soaps.
It is a moisturizing oil, easily absorbed, beneficial for both skin and hair. Thanks to its emollient properties, almond oil prevents dehydration of the skin, hair and scalp. Almond oil is particularly suitable for people with dry or sensitive skin.

I use this oil in hair masks too. It is absolutely wonderful and leaves you with dreamy hair.
Almond oil is indispensable. I use it in different skin preparations on its own or mixed with essential oils.
Very good quality. I use it in body butters, but also in moisturizers, face creams, along with other ingredients.
I always choose quality, and this product can't be disputed for its excellent quality. I use it specifically for applying to the complexion and décolleté.
It is a very good product, I recommend with confidence. I used it as a superfat in natural soap for dry skin.
I use it for making soaps and body butters. It has excellent properties which makes it a must have oil in my formulas.
It is a light oil, it blends well with other ingredients.I have made moisturizer with it and deostick roll on.I recommend it!
I use pure almond oil for massage as well, but one of its basic qualities for me is that it is suitable for dry and sensitive skin.
