Common Uses: Almond Sweet Carrier Oil is used in natural skin-care products, and by massage therapists.
Consistency: Sweet Almond Carrier Oil has a light to medium consistency.
Absorption: Absorbs into skin at an average speed, leaving a slight oily feel.
Shelf Life: Users can expect a shelf life of up to 2 years with proper storage conditions (cool, out of direct sunlight). Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for current Best Before Date.
Cautions: None Known.
Storage: It is recommended that cold-pressed carrier oils be kept in a cool, dark place to maintain freshness and achieve maximum shelf life. If refrigerated, bring to room temperature before using.

Rating: This is a lovely oil. I use it as a base oil when trying out recipes to make my own more exotic oils. The scent is so faint that it doesn't interfere with other additives.
Rating: Love this Almond Oil. I use it in all of my products. CP soaps, Body Butter, Lip and Body Balms.
Great price and feels wonderful on my skin. Absorbs nicely in my Body Butters. I also use as a Bath Oil for dry winter skin.

Rating: Cette huile est parfait pour la fabrication de savon, tellement douce et délicate, et l'emballage est parfait, livraison rapide aussi et prix imbattable.
Rating: This is a really nice oil in body butters, creams, and slaves. However, it's slightly thicker than some other oils I've purchased before. It has a faint "refined oil" smell but nothing too difficult to cover up.

By:Amy, London, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 01-Oct-2016

Rating: Nice smooth texture and I have purchased this product multiple times. Would love if there was an organic version!
Rating: I add this oil to my shea butter which gives it a soft, creamy texture. I use this mixture everyday and the added almond oil makes my skin feel very soft. It also helps heal chapped lips during the winter season.
Rating: This oil has been used to make lip balms and my very favourite whipped body butter. The smell is faint and when combined with cocoa the two together smell so good you want to eat what you're making.
I've also used to make a shaving "lotion" for my husband and in a cream for my baby boy.
I highly recommend buying this product - the quantity, quality and versatility of its many uses make this purchase well worth your time & money.

Rating: Fantastic, light oil - wonderful for massage. Very fast delivery - my first order. I will definately be back for more.
Rating: I was looking for oil mild enough and appropriate for babies and toddlers.
My daughter has very gentle sensitive skin, and this turned out to be the perfect massage oil
for her. Not only it soothes and moisturizes it actually removes irritations due to oil's inherent qualities.
Love the oil, the quality and of course, the price. Thanks ND!
By:Yulia, Newmarket, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 17-May-2006

By:Stephanie, Burlington, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 21-Nov-2006
Rating: Sweet Almond oil is a great oil for the hair and skin. It is not too oily. It has a soft silky feel that leaves your hair and skin moisturized.
Rating: I have compared prices and New Directions beats them all- while still maintaining a high quality product!
By:Heather, Ottawa, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 11-Dec-2005
Rating: Almond sweet virgin is more pleasant in my opinion that fractionated coconut, yet it is still cheaper. The only advantages of using fractionated coconut may be the fact that less people will complain of possible allergic reactions to products with which it is made. This is an excellent product if you're not allergic to almonds. it is actually scentless.
By:Sherif, Scarborough, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 27-Jul-2006
Rating: A very high quality Sweet virgin almond oil. This oil is a wonderful addition to soaps and skin care products. The consistent quality of products from New Directions make me very confident to try new things.
By:Trudy, Warkworth, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 15-Jun-2006
Rating: A great carrier oil, Sweet Almond oil is a wonderful addition to body butter, lip balms, soaps and other b&b items. Can't beat the price!
