Avocado organic virgin oil

The avocado was introduced to the Spanish court in the 17th century, called by its Aztec name “ahuacate” (1). Its oil is rich in fatty acids, particularly linoleic, linolenic, and oleic acids (2), which are known for hydrating the skin and protecting it from external stresses (maintaining the hydrolipidic film) (3). The phytosterols present in the oil, particularly β-sitosterol (2), are known for their regenerative, antioxidant, firming, and soothing properties (5). Avocado oil is used to help repair the skin (2) and nourish dry and damaged skin (2).
