Cold-pressed from avocado fruit flesh — one of the richest and most nourishing carrier oils available. High oleic acid (55–70%), vitamins A, D, and E, chlorophyll, and phytosterols make avocado oil the premium choice for mature, dry, and sun-damaged skin requiring deep, intensive moisturisation.
Avocado Oil (Persea gratissima) is cold-pressed from the flesh of the avocado fruit — making it one of the few carrier oils pressed from fruit flesh rather than seeds. This gives avocado oil a uniquely rich nutrient profile including chlorophyll (deep green colour), vitamins A, D, and E, and a high oleic acid content (55–70%) that provides deep penetration and long-lasting moisturisation.
SV Botanica supplies both cold-pressed unrefined avocado oil (rich green colour, full vitamin and chlorophyll content, characteristic avocado aroma) and refined cosmetic-grade avocado oil (pale, neutral, widely used in mainstream cosmetics). Both grades have a distinctly heavier, more nourishing skin feel than lighter oils like argan or jojoba — positioning avocado as a treatment oil rather than a daily-use base.
The richest vitamin-loaded carrier oil for mature, dry, and environmentally-stressed skin — vitamins A, D, and E support cell renewal and collagen synthesis.
Rich penetrating oil that deeply nourishes dry, flaky scalps — ideal base for intensive scalp treatment formulations.
Chlorophyll and vitamin A support skin cell renewal after sun damage — widely used in aftersun and photoprotection formulations.
High oleic and sterol content for barrier repair and anti-inflammatory activity in dry skin condition formulations.
Avocado oil's value comes from both its oleic acid content and its exceptional vitamin and chlorophyll profile — unique among carrier oils:
| Oleic Acid (C18:1) | 55–70% — deep penetrating emolliency, mature skin |
| Palmitic Acid (C16:0) | 12–18% — saturated emollient |
| Linoleic Acid (C18:2) | 10–15% — skin barrier support |
| Chlorophyll | Present in CP — responsible for deep green colour |
| Vitamin E (Tocopherols) | ~190 mg/100g — antioxidant, skin protection |
| Vitamins A & D | Present in CP — cell renewal, skin health |
| Phytosterols | Very high beta-sitosterol — anti-inflammatory, barrier |
Avocado oil sits in the rich, nourishing end of the carrier oil spectrum — compare it to understand its positioning:
| Oil | Oleic Acid | Skin Feel | Best Known For |
| Avocado Oil ★ | 55–70% | Rich, slow-absorb | Vitamins A/D/E, chlorophyll, mature skin |
| Marula Oil | 70–78% | Silky, medium | Ultra-high oleic, luxury feel |
| Argan Oil | 43–49% | Silky, light | Tocopherols, hair shine |
| Sweet Almond | 62–68% | Light, medium | Affordable, massage, baby |
| Coconut Oil | 4–8% oleic | Rich (lauric) | Antimicrobial, hair protein |
Avocado oil's rich skin feel makes it a treatment oil rather than an everyday base — use at 10–30% in formulations or neat for intensive treatment applications. Cold-pressed grade has deep green colour that will influence formulation appearance — use refined for colour-neutral formulations. High phytosterol content adds significant anti-inflammatory benefit.
Avocado oil has a rich oleic-dominated profile with significant palmitic acid — providing deep, lasting moisturisation:
Key bioactive compounds beyond the fatty acids:
| Chlorophyll | Present in CP — deep green colour; antioxidant |
| Vitamin E (Tocopherols) | ~190 mg/100g — skin protection |
| Vitamin A (Carotenoids) | Present — cell renewal, anti-ageing |
| Vitamin D | Present in CP — skin health |
| Phytosterols | Very high — anti-inflammatory, barrier support |
