The avocado is the fruit of theavocado tree (Persea americana), a member of the Lauraceae family native toNorth America (Mexico).
Numerous writings mention the plant's use by the Aztecs, who used the flesh of the fruit to protect their skin from the drying winds. They also applied it to their hair to encourage growth and made ointments to delay the onset of old age.
Avocado carrier oil has a lovely, unusual green colour and a subtle, sweet fragrance. It is very thick, penetrating the epidermis, leaving behind a protective film.
Rich in oleic acid, carotenoids and nutrients, avocado carrier oil is extracted from the pulp of the fruit (the flesh we usually eat) because, paradoxically, the stone contains very little fat (just 2%).
Its high content of oleic and palmitoleic acids and active ingredients makes it ideal for softening and regenerating your face and body. In hair care, this marvellous oil strengthens the hair and stimulates growth.
Organoleptic properties
Appearance: thick oily liquid, sometimes cloudy, which may naturally have a pulpy texture and contain plant deposits. This botanical oil may also partially solidify when exposed to cold, due to its fatty acid composition.
Colour: yellow to dark green
Odour: mild and pleasant
Feel: greasy. If you wish to improve its absorption into the skin, mix it with a more penetrating oil (Kukui, Macadamia, Hazelnut, Jojoba, etc.)
Density
0.91–0.93
Saponification index

Special product
Aroma-Zone strives to offer you products of the best possible quality, whether in terms of their composition, their richness in active ingredients, their scent, type of cultivation, geographical origin, method of extraction, the quality of the producer’s work, and also remarkable for their ethical standards in a sustainable development approach. We seek out rare product qualities, and sometimes even exclusive ones, by contacting suppliers from all around the world and purchasing directly from producers, always ensuring favourable economic conditions for our partners. To highlight some of our exceptionally high-quality products and to share as much information as possible about them, we have decided to create an “exceptional product” label.
Our organic avocado carrier oil comes from an ethical and sustainable production chain in Kenya. Its exclusive cold production process produces a beautiful green oil with a sweet,fruity flavour and an aroma characteristic of avocado. Its richness in active ingredients have remarkable softening and nourishing effects on the skin. This makes it one of those exceptional products.
From a beautiful mountainous region of Kenya
Our avocado carrier oil comes from a producer based in Kenya. The quality of our Aroma-Zone oil comes first and foremost from the fruit used.
In a beautiful mountainous region of central Kenya, amid a an incredible variety of plants and wildlife, small farmers cultivate fertile land. Thanks to the biodiversity of these organic crops, the rapid spread of disease is prevented. Trees are also planted regularly to prevent erosion on the steep slopes in this region, which is not suitable for intensive farming. This is where the avocados used to make Aroma-Zone avocado carrier oil grow.
An exclusive cold-pressed production process
The producer we work with has developed an exclusive process based on cold-pressing the fresh avocado pulp to obtain a carrier oil of incomparable quality which is very high in oleic acid, carotenoids and nutrients.
An oil from a fair trade relationship
In addition, the producer based his project on two major criteria. The first is the adoption of an ethical approach.
This is why thousands of small farmers agreed to sell him the produce from their small farms, including avocados, so that they can grow organic produce and be part of the fair trade circuit. The avocado carrier oil producer therefore provides economic support to families in the region by paying these farmers.
Organic farming and by-product recycling for a sustainable approach
The producer also wanted to adopt an environmental and sustainable development approach, by promoting small-scale organic farming.
To this end, he is committed to helping the farmers comply with the regulatory requirements for organic farming. A project is also underway to set up a biogas plant, using the by-product of oil extraction, in a completely sustainable process.
Mild, softening and regenerating
With its beautiful dark yellow-green colour, this avocado pulp oil has a subtle fragrance and a very fruity, sweet flavour characteristic of avocados.
It is thick so it can be used to create skin care products that leave a protective film behind on the skin and nourish it deep down. Its high content of oleic and palmitoleic acids and active ingredients (tocopherols, carotenoids, phytosterols) make it ideal for softening and regenerating fragile, dry and devitalised skin, as well as being the ideal ingredient for preventing stretch marks. This exceptional oil is also known to stimulate hair growth.
Storage
Stable carrier oil.
Store in a dry place away from heat and light.
