Sweet Almond Oil: Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil, commonly known as Sweet Almond Oil, is extracted from cold-pressing the ripe seeds of the almond tree. With its high content of essential fatty acids, vitamins A, B, D, and E, along with minerals such as zinc, iron, magnesium, potassium and calcium, sweet almond oil is easily absorbed into the hair follicles and skin to help protect, strengthen, condition, and lock in moisture to prevent dehydration of the scalp and hair. It also soothes dry, irritated skin.
