What Is Almond Oil?
Almond oil is obtained from raw almonds, which are known to originate mostly in southwest Asia and the Middle East. Solvent extraction and pressure system extraction are the two most common methods of deriving virgin almond oil for commercial use. Although there are two variants of almond oils ‚ sweet and bitter, the former is typically used for homoeopathic and cosmetic purposes. The oil gained from these nutrition-rich, brown, oval-shaped nuts has a number of health benefits as well as is incredible for your skin and hair.
