What Exactly Is Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil?

Here's what you're putting on your skin — and why we love it.

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil is derived from the kernels of the sweet almond tree, a species native to the Mediterranean region. This golden-hued oil is rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins A, B, and E, and a host of minerals that collectively enhance its skin conditioning properties. Its lightweight yet potent composition allows for deep penetration into the skin, making it a cherished ingredient in luxury skincare formulations.

What Happens When Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil Touches Your Skin

Understanding the process helps you get better results at home and in the treatment room.

Sweet Almond Oil works by forming a protective barrier on the skin’s surface, which locks in moisture and maintains hydration levels. The oil’s high concentration of oleic and linoleic acids helps to restore the skin’s natural lipid balance, reinforcing the skin barrier and preventing transepidermal water loss. Additionally, its vitamin E content offers powerful antioxidant protection, neutralising free radicals and reducing the visible signs of ageing.
