The Benefits of Avocado Oil in Skin and Hair Care

Did you know that most avocados sold in the U.S. are grown in the southern part of California? That certainly explains the Golden State’s obsession with avocado-topped anything and everything. Avocados are chock full of antioxidants, good fats, and fiber that prevent cancer, maintain heart health, and lower the risk of depression—so eat up!

While these fatty fruits serve as a delicious source of nutrients when consumed, avocado-derived ingredients can be found in numerous topical formulas to nourish the body from head to toe. Avocado oil, extract, and butter are dry skin and hair saviors, known for deeply hydrating, softening, and strengthening with every use. Check out this avocado infused lineup of restorative products to keep in your beauty kit all year long.
