Description
Avocado Virgin Carrier Oil gives formulations a rich, natural skin feel with more colour and character than refined avocado oil. It spreads with a fuller glide, settles slowly, and leaves a soft coated finish that remains noticeable after application.
It is well suited to body oils, balms, creams and richer skincare products where the oil itself should contribute texture and identity. Its natural green character can make simple formulations feel more ingredient-led and substantial. That same strength needs careful use. In lighter products, or formulas where colour and scent need to stay quiet, Avocado Virgin Carrier Oil may feel too heavy, too green or too visually present.
Shelf life: Users can expect a shelf life of 12 months with proper storage conditions (cool, out of direct sunlight). Refrigeration after opening is recommended.
