Organic Avocado Oil has been used in African skin treatments for centuries. This highly therapeutic oil is rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, B5 (Panthothenic acid), Vitamin D, E, minerals, protein, lecithin and fatty acids. This oil is expeller pressed from organic avocados and then gently refined for stable shelf life.
Organic Avocado Oil is a useful, penetrating nutrient for dry skin and eczema. Avocado Oil is said to have healing and regenerating qualities. Use in massage and body oils at a 10% dilution. Include the nutritive properties of Avocado Oil in your creams, lotions, balms, body butters, hair oils and lip balms. It also has a high percentage of unsaponifiables, making it a nice oil to use in soap. Although it can be used as a major portion of oils for a sensitive skin bar, it is costly. As such, most soap makers use a small percentage of Avocado Oil.

The oil is moisturizing, but I'm not too crazy about the smell. It's not a bad smell, but it's not really a good smell either. That's why I apply it at night, before I go to bed. The oil is light so that's a plus.
FNWL Response: Gaelle, try blending Avocado Oil with a lighter oil. I bet you'll love the results!

I have been using the oil on my hair, and I have noticed less shedding. It must be working.
