Avocado Oil – Benefits, Side Effects & Uses

What is Avocado Oil?

Avocado Oil is a plant oil rich in oleic acid, vitamins, and phytosterols. It is commonly used to soften the feel of dry skin and support the skin’s barrier.

Benefits

• Rich, emollient feel that helps reduce transepidermal water loss.
• Contains antioxidants that support the look of healthy skin.
• Pairs well with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid.

Side Effects

• May feel heavy on very oily skin types.
• Patch test if you have plant‑oil sensitivities.

How to Use

Apply a few drops over moisturiser at night or look for creams containing avocado oil for a richer finish.
