Sweet Almond Oil: Light & Luxurious

We at VictoriaLily Soaps love our oils and
butters, and adore what they do for our skin. Sweet Almond Oil is a top contender in our book. It’s a pale golden oil extracted from pressed almonds and is more than just a delicious addition to marzipan. In our soapmaking world, it’s a cherished ingredient, adding a touch of luxury and a wealth of benefits to our handcrafted bars.

Let’s look into the lush benefits of Sweet Almond Oil:

Moisture Maestro: Dry, flaky skin doesn't stand a chance against sweet almond oil's potent moisturizing properties. Rich in oleic acid and vitamin E, it acts like a built-in hydrator, locking in moisture and leaving your skin feeling soft, supple, and oh-so-pampered.

Lathers Like a Dream: Forget harsh, stripping suds. Sweet almond oil conjures up a creamy, luxurious lather that cleanses gently without leaving your skin feeling parched. This makes it ideal for sensitive skin types and anyone who craves a spa-like shower experience.

Gentle Giant: Unlike some essential oils, sweet almond oil is a gentle soul. It's non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores, and its hypoallergenic nature makes it suitable even for the most delicate skin. Soothe eczema, calm psoriasis, and say goodbye to irritation with this soothing oil.

Versatility Unbound: Sweet almond oil isn't a one-trick pony. It plays well with other oils, blending seamlessly into our soap recipes. We use it to pair with olive oil for extra conditioning, coconut oil for hardness, and shea butter for an extra dose of richness.

Sensory Symphony: Sweet almond oil doesn't just pamper your skin; it tantalizes your senses. Its subtle, nutty aroma adds a touch of elegance to our unscented soaps, making them as delightful to sniff as they are to use.

Since we change up our oils in our different recipes, only some of our soaps have this beautiful oil. On a side note, for those who are allergic to almonds, it's wise to steer clear of any soaps with this ingredient.

For our fellow soapmakers: Sweet Almond Oil's shelf life is one year and you can use up to 20% of total oils in your soap recipe.
