Avocado oil is more than just a kitchen staple; it’s one of nature’s richest gifts for skin and hair health. Cold-pressed from the creamy flesh of the avocado fruit, this golden-green oil is loaded with omega-9 fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants that nourish deeply, protect from damage, and keep skin feeling soft and healthy.
Here’s how avocado oil benefits your daily skincare and why it deserves a permanent spot in your self-care rituals.
1. Deep Moisturisation That Lasts:
Avocado oil is a moisturising oil that penetrates the skin’s surface to replenish lost hydration. Thanks to its high content of oleic acid (a type of omega-9 fatty acid), it helps repair the skin barrier so moisture stays locked in longer.
If your skin often feels tight or flaky, a moisturiser with avocado oil can bring immediate comfort while improving hydration over time. It’s a slow, steady kind of care that your skin will thank you for every day.
2. Rich Source of Antioxidants:
Every day, your skin faces environmental stressors like pollution, UV rays, and weather changes. Avocado oil contains antioxidants like Vitamin E, beta carotene, and lutein, which help neutralise free radicals before they can cause visible ageing.
Using antioxidant-rich skincare daily can help maintain firmness, softness, and resilience, keeping that natural glow alive even as the years pass.
3. Boosts Collagen Production:
Collagen is the protein that keeps skin plump and elastic, but its production naturally slows with age. Avocado oil contains sterolins and essential fatty acids that help support collagen synthesis, improving the skin’s texture and firmness.
This makes avocado oil an excellent choice for people who want to keep their skin youthful, smooth, and well-supported as part of a preventative skincare routine.
4. Calms and Soothes Irritation:
If your skin is prone to redness, dryness, or irritation, avocado oil’s soothing properties can help bring it back to balance. It contains phytosterols that help reduce inflammation and support the skin’s healing process.
From post-sun care to calming seasonal dryness, avocado oil is a gentle, plant-based option that works for sensitive skin types.
5. Natural Barrier Protection:
A healthy skin barrier is essential for keeping moisture in and irritants out. Avocado oil strengthens this protective layer, making your skin more resilient to daily stress.
Even in haircare, this barrier-supporting quality makes a difference; hydrated scalps are less prone to flakiness and discomfort. Our Revive & Restore Shampoo Butter uses avocado oil to keep both scalp and strands nourished during cleansing.
6. Enhances Absorption of Other Nutrients:
One of avocado oil’s hidden talents is its ability to help the skin absorb other beneficial ingredients more effectively. Its fatty acids act as a carrier, transporting nutrients deeper into the skin where they can have a greater impact.
In Plumpify Volumising natural conditioner, avocado oil works alongside sal butter and rice protein, not only hydrating the hair but also helping each nutrient work its magic for stronger, shinier strands.
7. Versatile for All Skin Types:
Whether you have dry, oily, sensitive, or combination skin, avocado oil adapts beautifully. It’s non-comedogenic for most skin types, meaning it moisturises without clogging pores. Its lightweight feel makes it a great year-round choice; you can use it in richer creams during winter or lighter formulas in summer.
Because of its versatility, avocado oil is found in both skincare and haircare staples. The Revive & Restore Shampoo Butter is perfect for gentle daily cleansing, while the Plumpify Volumising Conditioner delivers a post-wash boost of moisture and volume.
How to Use Avocado Oil in Your Daily Routine
Adding avocado oil to your self-care doesn’t mean applying the pure oil directly (though you can!). Instead, choose high-quality products that combine it with other skin- or hair-loving ingredients for maximum benefits.
A simple avocado oil ritual:
-
Morning Cleanse: Wash your hair or scalp with a gentle, avocado-infused formula like Revive & Restore Shampoo Butter.
-
Condition & Nourish: Use Plumpify Volumising Conditioner to lock in hydration and leave hair soft and bouncy.
-
Skincare Hydration: Choose moisturisers, body lotions, or Natural Face Serum with avocado oil to keep skin supple all day.
-
Night Care: Apply a richer cream or oil blend before bed for deep overnight repair.
