Description: Avocado cosmetic grade oil is obtained from the seeds of the Avocado tree (Persea gratissima) by cold pressing, refining, and standardizing with non-GMO vegetable oils to enhance their oxidation stability. The refining and standardization process helps remove undesirable aroma and color, and helps to enhance the shelf life of the oil. This renders the product suitable for formulating products in the cosmetic industry without interference from odor and color.
Color: Pale yellow to golden yellow liquid.
Aromatic Description: Avocado Carrier Oil has very little scent characteristic of most carrier oils.
Common Uses: Avocado Oil is typically added to other carrier oils in order to enrich protein and vitamin content. It is used predominantly by manufacturers (particularly great in soaps, lotions and creams) and massage therapists.
Consistency: Typical and Characteristic of Carrier Oils.
Absorption: Avocado Carrier Oil will leave a sticky, waxy feel if applied topically to large areas of skin.
Shelf Life: Users can expect a shelf life of up to 2 years with proper storage conditions (cool, out of direct sunlight). Refrigeration after opening is recommended. Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for current Best Before Date.
Cautions: None known, but this oil may stain sheets.
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: This is the best avocado oil I have used, and an excellent value for the price. I repeatedly have customers tell me how much they love my cold process soap and how it leaves their skin feeling soft and moisturized. I believe it is because of the avocado oil I use in my recipe. I will be a forever customer of this special oil!

By:Rochell, Holly Springs, North Carolina
Date: Loyal Customer Since: 25-Nov-2012
Rating: I enjoy this oil a great deal. To me it seems to feel like silk: light, airy, and luxurious, but covers fully like armor. The best of both worlds for a carrier oil-when you need something that will last, but also doesn't weigh you down.
By:Julie, Green Bay, Wisconsin
Date: Loyal Customer Since: 02-Apr-2015
Rating: This is a lightweight oil that is gentle on skin and hair. It is nourishing enough to be used in a hot oil treatment and as a leave in oil for hair, but light enough to use on body to replace some of the chemical laden lotions, butters, and oils that are in the stores.
Keep Up The Great Work NDA!
By:Nicole, Mobile, Alabama Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 17-Feb-2013
Rating: This is a GREAT oil; I highly recommend it for all sorts of skin care needs.
Rating: Do not hesitate to buy this avocado oil. It is wonderful quality, wonderful price, and, in my experience, it does not lend a scent to your finished products. You get all this with the benefits of a great-quality avocado oil; will not be without.
By:Julie, Watertown, New York Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 18-Sep-2009
Rating: I love this oil! I use it in my lotion bars or mixed with just lavender when i get out of the shower( i dont get any sticky feeling on my skin). I need to get another bottle already!
By:Megan, Mint Hill, North Carolina

Rating: I really love the quality of this avocado oil. I frequently use a dab as a hair moisturizer and it always leaves my hair soft with sheen. I also dilute it with other carrier oils to make a body silkener and it absorbs very well.
Rating: Avocado oil is easily penetrated into the hair, moisturizing it without the greasy look. I'm including it in all of my hair treatments, and what an amazing price!
By:Elisabeth, Caledon East, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005

By:Kat, Cody, Wyoming Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 04-Sep-2011
Rating: I use this oil in everything and it is fantastic for my dry skin. I also add it to conditioner and my hair has never been softer. I have purchased it several times and will continue for years to come.
By:Lorriane, Gardena, California Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 19-Jan-2010
Rating: I used this to make a cream and it's very nice, moisturizing but doesn't smell so I didn't have to add more than a few drops (per 4 oz) to my cream to add scent.
By:Jacqueline, Newburgh, New York Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 17-Nov-2011
Rating: No scent, great feeling, a little goes a long way. One of my favorites.
By:Michele, Montreal, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Can't have luxury soap without avocado oil. This is another must-have in my soap ingredient list. Depending on your recipe, the 4L size will go a long way. this gallon size is easy to pour and mess-free.
By:Farkhanda, Oakville, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: This is a good addition to any lotion or cream formula, and as always, an excellent price.
By:Jackie, Dundalk, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: This is a wonderful oil. All of my face creams and body lotions have some of this gem as part of their base oil. My skin loves it.
By:Michael, Chicago, Illinois Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 05-Dec-2010
Rating: Wow, this stuff is amazing! It's a great addition to my bath bombs! Last night I was feeling lazy so I just added a little bit of avocado oil, peppermint EO and kaolin clay to the running water while filling the tub... My whole body AND hair have never been softer! It didn't leave a greasy residue on my hair or body. I love it!
By:Gidget, Ajax, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Great oil, very refined, which is more suited for skin than hair in my opinion. But didn't realize when I was ordering it is refined. Big difference with unrefined. Would like to see the unrefined avocado oil too.
By:Kristina, Hamilton, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Rich, glides on smoothly with a slick feeling. Absorbs quickly with no residue. I didn't get any waxiness mentioned in the "Absorption" paragraph. but do sense a healthy smooth finish. To me waxy suggests a clogging of pores which I don't perceive with this oil. Definitely a 5 star product. My next batch of pain relief rub will include this.
By:David, Plaistow, New Hampshire Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 18-Aug-2008
Rating: This is my favorite oil! I use this in my body butters. It is long lasting, not too heavy and aborbs easily.
By:Dawn, Virginia Beach, Virginia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 28-Oct-2010

By:Leeann, Grand Valley, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: I just gave my 14 year old an aromatic massage with avocado as the base-the consistency was perfect for her dry skin and to penetrate into sore muscles!
By:Heather, Ottawa, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Love this oil. So many uses and benifits. Very little odor.
By:Kristie, Portsmouth, New Hampshire Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 18-Nov-2009
Rating: Advocado oil is very addicting in a good way. It blends well with other carrior oils I used and didn't leave any residue. I love eating the fruit so, using the oil in my products was a sound decision for me to make. I rank Advocado oil with that of olive oil and it is quoted that advocado has, "more fatty alcohols than any other fruit known to man." in Julie Gabriel's book titled "Green Beauty Guide". Even if you don't like eating the fruit, try it!
By:Nattassia, Toronto, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: This is a great buy and a fantastic oil to use in CP soap! Love it!
By:Heather, Colorado Springs, Colorado Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 26-Aug-2009
Rating: I put 10% of this in pretty much everything I make! It goes in nearly every lotion and I use it in my facial serum as well as it's non-comedogenic.
By:Jacki, Highland Park, New Jersey Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 13-Apr-2009
Rating: I love avocado oil for my hair oil blends. In massage blends it is lovely as well... just watch your sheets as I have found it stains(which is why it usually isn't in my massage blends.) For deep nourishing face oils, especially following french clay or dead sea mineral muds, this is a lovely addition. Thanks again ND for such amazing products!
Rating: Great price. NDA'S carrier oils are consistently below every other suppliers price. This was a very nice oil, beautiful green color, little to no smell. Used it for my husband's shaving cream soap with very good results. Thanks NDA. PS. please start carrying cocoa butter. I use NDA for most of my soaping purchases, but I always have to turn to other suppliers for cocoa butter.

By:Tasha, Plainfield, Illinois Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 03-Apr-2008
