Description
Avocado Refined Carrier Oil brings a rich, smooth glide to body-care and skincare formulations. It feels more substantial than lighter oils and leaves a fuller finish that customers recognise in creams, balms, massage blends and richer body oils.
The refined version is easier to work with where a quieter scent or cleaner formula appearance is needed. It still has the body and cushion associated with avocado oil, but with less natural character than virgin avocado. This makes it useful when richness is wanted without too much ingredient impact. Used too heavily, Avocado Refined Carrier Oil can make lightweight products feel greasy, slow to absorb or more coated than intended.
Shelf life: Users can expect a shelf life of 18 months with proper storage conditions (cool, out of direct sunlight). Refrigeration after opening is recommended.
