Escentia Avocado Refined Carrier Oil in a generous 500ml bottle provides a versatile base oil well-suited for massage therapists, aromatherapists, and anyone who uses carrier oils regularly. Extracted from the flesh of the avocado fruit, this oil undergoes a refining process that produces a lighter colour and milder scent compared to its cold-pressed counterpart, making it an excellent choice for blending with essential oils without competing aromas.
Avocado oil is naturally rich in oleic acid, vitamins A, D, and E, as well as plant sterols. These nutrients contribute to its reputation as a deeply nourishing oil that absorbs well into the skin. It is particularly valued for dry, dehydrated, or mature skin types, where its moisturising properties can help support the skin's natural barrier function.
The refined version of avocado oil offers a more neutral profile, which makes it highly practical for professional use. It blends seamlessly with other carrier oils such as sweet almond or grapeseed and serves as an effective base for essential oil dilutions, massage blends, and homemade skincare formulations. Its medium-weight texture provides good slip for massage without feeling overly heavy or greasy on the skin.
This 500ml size is ideal for practitioners or regular home users who require a larger quantity, offering better value than smaller bottles. Store in a cool, dark place to maintain freshness and extend shelf life. As with all carrier oils, a patch test is recommended before first use, particularly for those with sensitive skin or nut allergies.
