What is avocado oil?
Avocado oil is a highly nutritious vegetable oil obtained from the flesh of the avocado fruit. Due to its special nutritional composition, the oil is extremely popular in skin care, hair care and gastronomy. It is known for being rich in fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants, so it has a beneficial effect on the skin, hair, and even the cardiovascular system.

Effects of avocado oil on the skin:
Avocado oil is an excellent moisturizer that absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a greasy feeling. The fatty acids in it help keep the skin hydrated and prevent water loss. It is especially recommended for dry, cracked skin, as it deeply nourishes and restores its natural protective layer. The high vitamin A and E content helps skin regeneration. Vitamin A stimulates skin cell renewal and improves skin texture. This can be especially beneficial for mature skin as it reduces the appearance of fine lines. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps protect the skin from free radicals and harmful environmental effects, thus slowing down skin aging. Avocado oil also has an anti-inflammatory effect, so it can be a solution in the treatment of various skin problems, such as eczema, psoriasis and rosacea. The phytosterols contained in it relieve skin irritation, reduce redness and itching, thus contributing to the relief of inflammatory conditions. It is non-comedogenic and therefore does not cause acne. What's more, the oil can help treat it because of its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
