🌱 What it is
Sweet almond oil is a light, emollient oil pressed from almonds.
📜 Where it comes from
Sweet almond oil has been pressed and used as a skin softener since ancient Greco-Roman times, mentioned by early physicians for its gentleness. Traditional midwives and mothers across Europe and the Middle East used it for infant massage and dry skin for centuries, and it carried into modern natural-health and baby-care practice as a mild, widely available emollient.
✨ Why it's good for you
- Gentle enough for baby's skin
- Softens and conditions skin and hair
- Simple, single-ingredient moisturizer
🥄 How to use it
Apply almond oil directly as a moisturizer; mix with grated apple for rough patches, or combine with rosemary and nettle infusions as a hair rinse.
How much: Apply a small amount to skin or hair as needed.
Why it works: As an emollient, almond oil coats and softens the skin's surface, helping it hold moisture.
