Avocado oil is a deep green colour and can have a faint avocado aroma. When using this oil for aromatherapy, make sure you buy unrefined avocado oil as lately I have noticed aromatherapy companies selling both refined and unrefined. The refined one has had all the 'bits' filtered out and is yellow in colour.

Avocado oil is extremely high in protein, lecithin and vitamins A,B and D. It is also said to help essential oils penetrate the skin faster though to my knowledge this is unproven.

This nourishing carrier oil is useful for pumping out prematurely lined skin as well as eczema and psoriasis.
