Sweet Almond
Soft, silky, and effortlessly absorbable — sweet almond oil is a natural all-rounder loved for its ability to nourish without heaviness. It’s one of our favourite ingredients for soothing, hydrating and restoring skin, especially in products made for everyday use and sensitive areas.
At Made in Hemp, you’ll find sweet almond oil in our Healing Balm, Lip Balm, Gym Junkie Body Butter, and Nourishing Hemp Face Oil — where it works harmoniously with other plant-based oils and extracts to comfort the skin and support long-term barrier health.
What Is Sweet Almond Oil?
Sweet almond oil is extracted from the seeds (nuts) of the Prunus amygdalus dulcis tree. Known for its lightweight texture and high nutrient content, it’s a favourite in skincare for both face and body — suitable even for sensitive or baby skin.
Rich in:
Oleic acid (Omega-9) – softens, smooths and hydrates
Linoleic acid (Omega-6) – supports barrier repair and balances oil production
Vitamin E – offers antioxidant support and promotes healing
B vitamins, zinc & magnesium – support overall skin health
It has a mild, nutty scent, a golden colour, and a silky glide that makes it perfect for balms, butters, and oils alike.
