The almond tree belongs to the Rosaceae family. Its beautiful pinkish-white flowers, a symbol of virginity, are the first blooms to appear on fruit trees at the end of winter, despite the morning frosts.
Unlike its cousin the apricot, the flesh of the fruit is thin, hard and dry. It is impossible to eat.
However, hidden inside this unappetising fruit is a kernel which, depending on the variety, can be bitter and toxic or, on the contrary, sweet. It is from the latter that a highly nutritious, softening light yellow oil is extracted: sweet almond oil.
Used in ancient times by high-society Egyptian women to make massage ointments based on honey, aromatic wine and cinnamon, this oil is now widely recognised and used in cosmetics for its softening and smoothing properties.
Used for massage, sweet almond oil is ideal for sensitive, reactive skin prone to discomfort.
Used internally, sweet almond oil has traditionally been used in popular medicine as a non-irritating laxative , but also to ease digestive discomfort, soothe coughs and help evacuate bronchial mucus.
It is nutritious and also has culinary uses.
Premium product
Aroma-Zone strives to provide you with products of the highest possible quality, in terms of their composition, their richness in active ingredients, their scent, the way they are cultivated, their geographical origin, the way they are obtained, the quality of the producer's work, and also their ethics with products produced as part of a sustainable development policy. We seek out rare, and sometimes even exclusive, premium products for you by contacting suppliers across the world and buying directly from the producers, always guaranteeing a good economic return for our partners.
In order to showcase some of our exceptional quality products and to share as much information as possible about them with you, we have decided to create an "exceptional product" label.
Our organic sweet almond carrier oil, obtained from a slow cold pressing of Sicilian almonds, which preserves all the active ingredients, and whose trade is based on a sustainable partnership with the producers, is one of our exceptional products.
Slow cold pressing for a quality oil
The fruit used to make this oil comes from almond trees grown organically in open fields in Sicily, a land renowned for producing the best almonds.
The fruit is rigorously selected, particularly in terms of variety and quality for oil that is high in active ingredients. Mechanically harvested, the almonds are kept in shell throughout the season to preserve their freshness. They are shelled, peeled or toasted as required. These almonds are partially degreased by slow , cold pressing. This means that the best parts of the fruit can be recovered, especially the nutrients and minerals, resulting in a virgin organic oil with unique organoleptic qualities and exceptional purity. For 1 kg of oil, you need around 2 kg of shelled almonds. Hundreds of years of know-how and a lasting partnership
The oil producer works directly with cooperatives of producers and farmers, most of whom are family-run businesses handed down from generation to generation using traditional know-how.
It's not uncommon to find hundred-year-old trees on producers' farms, proof of the quality of their work. The supplier meets the growers and visits their fields. This helps to create lasting partnerships with the cooperatives. Working directly with the growers also guarantees impeccable traceability. A traditional oil with exceptional softening and nourishing properties
Thanks to a composition rich in oleic acid and softening active ingredients (phytosterols, triacylglycerides, triterpene alcohols), organic sweet almond carrier oil softens the skin and protects it from drying out, giving it a velvety feel.
Thanks to its emollient properties, it can be used as an ingredient in massage oils for delicate skin or skin prone to discomfort. It can also be used in skin care products to combat stretch marks.

Precautions
Although traditionally used to care for pregnant women and babies, some doctors now advise against the continuous application of sweet almond oil during pregnancy due to the increase in cases of allergy to nuts. We therefore advise you to alternate the application of sweet almond oil with other oils or butters to avoid the risk of sensitisation.
We advise against using this oil on people with a nut allergy.
