What it does

Persea gratissima oil is pressed from avocado fruit. It is heavier than most plant oils and high in oleic acid, which is why it shows up in body butters, hand creams and hair masks for dry hair.

CosIng lists it as skin conditioning. It is plant-derived and affects none of the six checks; it is a carrier oil, not an essential oil, so it does not count as fragrance.

Functions: skin conditioning, emollient
