Turkish Sweet Almond Oil 17oz

Since most oil sellers just want to sell the product but know little about it, people are used to the fact that there is a product called Almond Oil. But this is a gross mistake. It is worth remembering that there is Sweet and Bitter Almond Oil. Their difference is that the kernels of bitter almonds contain amygdalin, which gives this nut a specific taste and smell, while it is not present in the kernels of sweet almonds.

Amygdalin can release toxic cyanide anions which can cause intoxication when taken internally. That is why Sweet Almond Oil is the base Almond Oil and can be eaten in its pure form without any fear. This difference exists because of the origin of the plant: the sweet almond has been cultivated by humans for thousands of years, while the bitter almond is a wild plant.

Sweet Almond Oil is used as a flavoring for ready meals. As already mentioned, it is practically odorless, so it does not displace the aromas of the main products of the dish. But at the same time, it has a strong taste of almonds, giving dishes a special taste. The sweet type of almond does not mean that the oil is sweet, it has no sweet taste, so it will not destroy the taste of your green salads and will not increase the sugar level in your cakes or cookies.

If you are looking for a versatile cosmetic oil that can be used for skin care, the face, body, and hair, then Sweet Almond Oil is exactly what you need. Using this oil for the hair and nails is considered to be a secondary purpose, but the benefits for the skin are tremendous.

When used in its pure form, Sweet Almond Oil is applied to the wet skin of the face, neck, and hands: 2-3 times a week at night instead of a cream. Also, this oil can be added to any kind of homemade face mask. Due to the huge number of positive reviews about its effectiveness, this oil is very commonly used for the skin around the eyes. The soft gliding texture of Sweet Almond Oil and its ability to absorb well make it a very good massage oil. Moreover, in this role, it performs two functions at once: massage and nutrition.
