Background Story
The Avocado tree originates from Central and South America and has been valued for centuries for both nutritional and cosmetic purposes. The botanical name Persea gratissima translates as 'very pleasing tree', while Americana reflects its geographic origins. Often nicknamed the 'alligator pear', the avocado has long been prized for its rich, nourishing fruit.
Historically, avocado pulp was used as a hair pomade and skin treatment, while the oil became recognised for its exceptional moisturising and conditioning qualities. Aromatherapists particularly value the unrefined green oil, which retains more of its naturally occurring nutrients compared with the refined versions commonly used in commercial cosmetics.
Its ability to penetrate deeply into the epidermis has made Avocado Oil one of the most respected carrier oils for mature, dry, and damaged skin.
