Sweet Almond CO2 Oil is a luxurious botanical oil obtained from the kernels of Prunus amygdalus dulcis using supercritical CO2 extraction. This gentle extraction method helps preserve the natural lipid profile of almond oil, including its soft emollient feel, mild nutty aroma, and naturally occurring fatty acids.

Known for its silky texture and excellent skin feel, Sweet Almond CO2 Oil is a versatile ingredient for premium skincare, body care, massage oils, hair oils, balms, creams, and anhydrous cosmetic formulations. It spreads beautifully on the skin, leaving a smooth, conditioned finish without feeling overly heavy.

Rich in naturally occurring oleic acid, linoleic acid, palmitic acid, tocopherols, and phytosterols, this oil is especially valued in cosmetic formulations designed to support soft, supple, and radiant-looking skin. Its mild character makes it suitable for elegant facial oils, body oils, baby-care-inspired formulas, hand creams, lip balms, and luxury massage blends.

Aromatically, Sweet Almond CO2 Oil has a very soft, mild, slightly nutty scent that blends easily with essential oils, absolutes, CO2 extracts, resins, and botanical macerations. It is an excellent base oil for high-end natural perfumery oils, botanical serums, and artisan skincare products.
