Refined Sweet Almond Oil is a pale yellow to yellow liquid, refined oil obtained from the seeds of Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis . Since the Antiquity, almond seed oil has been used in cosmetics for its softening and moisturizing properties in case of skin inflammations. The oil is good for application to the skin as an emollient because it does not become rancid. It is a mild, lightweight oil that can be used as a substitute for olive oil.
