Common Uses: Almond Sweet Carrier Oil is used in natural skin-care products, and by massage therapists.
Consistency: Sweet Almond Carrier Oil has a light to medium consistency.
Absorption: Absorbs into skin at an average speed, leaving a slight oily feel.
Shelf Life: Users can expect a shelf life of up to 2 years with proper storage conditions (cool, out of direct sunlight). Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for current Best Before Date.
Cautions: None Known.
Storage: It is recommended that cold-pressed carrier oils be kept in a cool, dark place to maintain freshness and achieve maximum shelf life. If refrigerated, bring to room temperature before using.

Rating: Sweet Almond Oil is definitely my favorite carrier oil. I purchased the 33.3-ounce size, and it's already over half gone. Almond oil is odorless, has a great shelf life (I keep mine in the fridge), and this stuff from NDA is very reasonably priced. I'm glad to see it's "virgin," too, though I had never heard of refined almond oil before. No need to get refined; it's perfect and I'm sure much better for your skin just the way it is!
By:Andrea, Katy, Texas Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 14-Mar-2011
Rating: This oil is amazing. I love using a few drops of it just at the ends of my hair. Great as a massage oil with some lavender for babies and older children. My 3 love it!
By:Jagjit, Brampton, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005

Rating: This oil just goes right in and is very emollient. I use it on my legs along with grapefruit, cypress and rosemary EO to prevent cellulite from coming back!
By:Manon, Rawdon, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: This oil is so versatile I use it in the base of many products (butters, conditioners, and fragrant oils). This almond oil absorbs into the skin really well and promotes a beautifuful glow in hair, skin and nails. Great quality for the price.
Rating: Love the product, love the price even better! Super buy!
By:Kat, Cody, Wyoming Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 04-Sep-2011
Rating: I really liked this oil. I used it for a sugar scrub and it was perfect. It's great for a variety of products, doesn't have a strong scent so it blends well with anything.
By:Jacqueline, Newburgh, New York Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 17-Nov-2011
Rating: Sweet Almond oil is one of my favorites, blends very well with other carrier and essential oils. I use Sweet Almond in combination with Hemp and Grape seed oils in all my lotions,creams and butter formulations. Great conditioning oil, regular user will notice increased softening and subtleness in skin reconditioning. I have been extremely happy with all of the oil products purchased from New Directions.

Rating: We regularly buy this oil, as it\'s perfect as one of the components of our oil combination for our MammaMichal\'s Loving Hands massage oil and a wonderful base oil for our peri-preparation Massage oil.
And of course, thanks for the great price, we\'re able to deliver the savings to our customers.
Thanks again!
Rating: Lovely oil. My only complaint, or at least a tip would be to note that people with nut allerges should avoid this oil. I happen to be allergic and for reasons that make no sense, I slathered it on after a shower. Though I had to wash it off( I felt a reaction coming on), the moments before, my skin felt wonderful.
By:Chynna, San Diego, California

Rating: This oil is lovely for a facial oil. I have normal/oily skin and it isn't too heavy.
By:Natalie, Ottawa, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Great product, I use it in my lip balms and skin cream, and makes a superior soap. It is easily saponified and produces a very mild soap with a nice lather. And your skin will love it!!Great price, too.
By:Fern, Dunnville, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: I love it and the price I use this in my lip balms and people love it.
By:Mark, Sydney, Nova Scotia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: I use this oil for massages for clients with dry, itchy skin, and recommend it alone as a moisturizer.
By:Tracey, Toronto, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: I am pleasantly surprised by the quality and price of this oil! Sweet Almond is a very versatile oil to use in CP soaps and beauty products. Its light texture does not aggravate acne and it sinks into the skin very quickly. I will definitely be buying this oil in the future!
By:Christine, Burnaby, British Columbia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Another great product...I couldn't wait for my order to come in. I went through the last bottle so quick. Great for baby massage and all over use.
By:Louis, Faison, North Carolina Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 06-Mar-2008
Rating: This is great quality almond oil. I always mix Grapeseed oil and almond oil for my daily body and face lotion. My father is huge into skin care, and when he heard that I had almond oil, he just had to have some. He really likes it too.
I don't use this as the main oil for my skin, because I have oily skin. It is thicker and leaves more of a residue than the Grapeseed.
By:Channelle, Odenton, Maryland Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 22-Aug-2008
Rating: Sweet Almond oil is excellent for massage. It is also good for your dogs ears !!! My dog was scratching her ears like crazy and they had a bad odor too, so someone told me to try Sweet Almond oil mixed with Lavender, Bergamot, and Niaouli oils--in less than 2 days she was all better, no more itchy ears and boy does she smell wonderful !!
By:Annmarie, Tempe, Arizona Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 08-Oct-2008
Rating: So silky smooth and nourishing for my skin, I love the Almond oil for everyday use! It is great for mixing with a scent, because the oil itself does not have a scent-your skin will love you for it!!
By:Annmarie, Tempe, Arizona Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 08-Oct-2008
Rating: unbeatable price for such a big bottle. i dilute most all my eo's in this carrier oil to massage myself and my parents. it's nourishing to the skin. my mom said her heels haven't been as dry since i started to massage her feet with this oil+eo.
By:Julie, Rochester, New York Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 03-Jun-2008
Rating: I use the almond oil as a base for my face oil. I mixed in a couple of drops of Carrot Seed and Australian Blue Cypress EOs along with a small amount of seabuckthorn and grapeseed COs. It makes my mature skin feel so smooth and supple. Excellent quality and great for the skin.
Rating: Fantastic, light oil - wonderful for massage. Very fast delivery - my first order. I will definately be back for more.
By:Diane, Durham, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Great oil, WONDERFUL price. I use this oil mostly for massage, and it feels great. I add a bit of EO to it and massage my son before bedtime,rubs in nicely, and leaves our skin baby soft.
Rating: I was looking for oil mild enough and appropriate for babies and toddlers.
My daughter has very gentle sensitive skin, and this turned out to be the perfect massage oil
for her. Not only it soothes and moisturizes it actually removes irritations due to oil's inherent qualities.
Love the oil, the quality and of course, the price. Thanks ND!
By:Yulia, Newmarket, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005

By:Dawn, Calgary, Alberta Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Absolutely LOVE the price for the quantity and quality. Best price I've found. The shipping isn't as bad as I thought it would. Enjoying all of the natural benefits when added to my hand soaps, bath soaps and conditioner. It works amazingly.
By:Maggie, North York, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: I love this oil! It's great for skin care, leaving a smooth, silky feeling to the skin when used in my body lotion. It's very light and does not make you feel like you've been oiled for a wrestling match! I can see myself still using this oil even in the summer, it's that light! You've got to try this top quality oil for yourself!
By:Kim, Yonkers, New York

Rating: I have compared prices and New Directions beats them all- while still maintaining a high quality product!
By:Heather, Ottawa, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: A very high quality Sweet virgin almond oil. This oil is a wonderful addition to soaps and skin care products. The consistent quality of products from New Directions make me very confident to try new things.
By:Trudy, Warkworth, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Almond sweet virgin is more pleasant in my opinion that fractionated coconut, yet it is still cheaper. The only advantages of using fractionated coconut may be the fact that less people will complain of possible allergic reactions to products with which it is made. This is an excellent product if you're not allergic to almonds. it is actually scentless.
By:Sherif, Scarborough, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Great oil for massage balm and other formulations, and at a great price. Very moisturizing but light weight as well.
By:Janet, Paradise, California
