Avocado Oil (Persea Gratissima) is a thick, nutrient-dense oil cold-pressed from the flesh of the avocado fruit. Unlike most plant oils that are extracted from seeds, avocado oil comes from the fruit itself — giving it a uniquely rich profile of oleic acid (up to 70%), vitamins A, D, and E, phytosterols, lecithin, and chlorophyll. This combination makes it one of the most deeply penetrating and nourishing botanical oils available for skincare.
Avocado oil’s high oleic acid content allows it to penetrate beyond the surface layer into the epidermis — delivering its payload of fat-soluble vitamins directly to living cells rather than sitting on top. Phytosterols (beta-sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol) reduce inflammation and support collagen synthesis. Vitamin E provides in-situ antioxidant protection within the lipid layer. Lecithin enhances absorption and helps emulsify the oil into the skin’s own lipid structure. The result is deep, lasting nourishment that restructures dry, damaged, or aging skin from within.
70%
oleic acid content — the highest of any common fruit oil, enabling avocado oil to penetrate deeper into the epidermis than most botanical oils.
Avocado oil skincare delivers what surface moisturizers can’t — deep epidermal nourishment that restructures skin from within. As a persea gratissima oil, avocado oil for face penetrates past the barrier to deliver avocado oil vitamins A, D, and E directly to living cells. This makes it the ideal avocado oil moisturizer for avocado oil dry skin — reaching layers that lighter oils never touch. The phytosterol content drives avocado oil collagen support, while oleic acid acts as avocado oil barrier repair by integrating into the intercellular lipid matrix. Combined with Squalane for lightweight lipid flexibility, Sunflower Extract for linoleic acid balance, and Vitamin E for synergistic antioxidant protection. Supported by Hyaluronic Acid for water-binding hydration and Panthenol for accelerated cell renewal — all on a Ceramide 3 foundation. Explore the full formulation in The Serum C+E on Amazon.
Most oils sit on the surface. Avocado oil goes in. Its oleic acid content carries fat-soluble vitamins and phytosterols past the stratum corneum into the living epidermis — delivering nourishment where it actually counts. Paired with Ceramide 3, avocado oil creates a formulation that nourishes from within while the ceramide matrix seals everything in. For dry, mature, or nutrient-depleted skin, this combination is unmatched.
