Botanical Name: Persea americana Botany and Origins: The avocado tree was first found growing in South American swap lands where it was nicknamed "alligator pear". Technically, avocados are a fruit because they have a stone. Method of Extraction: Avocado oil is extracted from the flesh which contains up to 30% pure oil. Cultivation: Conventional Uses: The oil is rich in many nutrients including vitamin A and D, lecithin and potassium. The oil is also rich in chlorophyll, the reason for its dazzling green colour. Avocado oil can be used to soothe the skin, being useful for conditions such as nappy rash and eczema. It is moisturising to the skin and is ideal for dry, mature skin and assists in the treatment of climate damaged and undernourished or aged skin. Country of Origin: Australia Size: 125ml, 250ml
