Like the fruit, organic avocado oil is rich in vitamins and in essential fatty acids. It contains antioxidant, emollient, skin-regenerating, nourishing and penetrating active ingredients that fight premature skin aging.

HOW ORGANIC AVOCADO OIL IS OBTAINED

It is then filtered to remove impurities and smells, in order finally to obtain a pure oil ready for use. Thanks to its rich composition, it has become an ingredient of choice in natural cosmetic preparations.

Highly concentrated in vitamin E, organic avocado oil perfectly nourishes brittle, damaged hair. Its softening and suppling properties keep your hair soft and silky by giving it back radiance and elasticity. It penetrates the hair shaft perfectly to protect it from external aggressions; in doing so it strengthens the hair, giving it radiance and shine while preventing hair loss.
Thanks to its vitamin D content, organic avocado oil stimulates the creation of new hair follicles. This helps you keep beautiful, thick hair. Its essential fatty acids strengthen the roots of the hair, thus promoting hair growth.
When your hair is overexposed to the sun, UVA and UVB rays can damage the cuticles of the hair and dehydrate it. This can cause discoloration, the formation of split ends and the thinning of the hair. Organic avocado oil contains vitamin E, which is able to repair the damage caused by sun exposure.
