Description: Avocado cosmetic grade oil is obtained from the seeds of the Avocado tree (Persea gratissima) by cold pressing, refining, and standardizing with non-GMO vegetable oils to enhance their oxidation stability. The refining and standardization process helps remove undesirable aroma and color, and helps to enhance the shelf life of the oil. This renders the product suitable for formulating products in the cosmetic industry without interference from odor and color.
Color: Pale yellow to golden yellow liquid.
Aromatic Description: Avocado Carrier Oil has very little scent characteristic of most carrier oils.
Common Uses: Avocado Oil is typically added to other carrier oils in order to enrich protein and vitamin content. It is used predominantly by manufacturers (particularly great in soaps, lotions and creams) and massage therapists.
Consistency: Typical and Characteristic of Carrier Oils.
Absorption: Avocado Carrier Oil will leave a sticky, waxy feel if applied topically to large areas of skin.
Shelf Life: Users can expect a shelf life of up to 2 years with proper storage conditions (cool, out of direct sunlight). Refrigeration after opening is recommended. Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for current Best Before Date.
Cautions: None known, but this oil may stain sheets.
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: Très bon produit pour les bougies à massage que je fais. Aucune odeur particulière, c'est donc facile de mettre la fragrance que l'on veut.
Very good product for the massage candles that I make. No particular smell, so it's easy to put on the fragrance you want.

Rating: Amazing oil. Very happy to mix it in with face and haircare products. I do wish this came in (certified) organic form too, because I’d love to use it as a standard ingredient in my product lines.

By:Heather, Winlaw, British Columbia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 16-Sep-2019
Rating: This oil is affordable and moisturizes well. I use it in my body moisturizers and soaps. Happy it doesn't have a dark green color like most avocado oil. Will be purchasing again.
By:Peaches, Montreal, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 26-May-2020
Rating: I bought this oil last week and its first time for me using it in my body moisturizer and its fantastic.. super easy to work and not greasy and leave skin super soft. Definitely buying again..
Rating: I really enjoy using this for body oils and butters strictly for moisturizing. Since it's refined don't expect any natural 'nutrients' to be present. With that said, this oil absorbs really oil. I mix it with other oils to create the best blend for quick absorption. I've also used this in CP soap.
Rating: Exceptional quality at an exceptional price!! A friend of mine gave me some oils including this one as a gift from here and I just had to purchase it for myself. The quality and the price point is just outstanding! Will be purchasing more from NDA! Keep up the good quality and the low prices and you'll have me and my family as life Long costumers!
Rating: I have been using this in my products for awhile now and I love the consistency of the oil.
By:Armando, Toronto, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 25-Feb-2012
Rating: Definitely adds a nice rich boost to any product it's in. Use it in my nourishing night cream. Have never had a problem with too sticky or heavy, or strong scent since I have the refined version. Love this oil, and price is fantastic too!
By:Vanessa, Manitouwadge, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 24-Jan-2011
Rating: I love using this oil in my CP soap and lotions. Gives it a nice luxurious feel.
By:Victoria, Toronto, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 13-May-2013
Rating: I've been adding this rich oil to my lotion blends and love the results!
By:Nadia, Kitchener, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 18-Feb-2012
Rating: Avocado carrier oil is an absolutly great moisturizer. It's yet another importaint ingredient to my skincare arsenal, but since it will often just sit on my skin alone, I normally mix it with a few different oils.
By:Ian, Edmonton, Alberta Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 07-Feb-2015
Rating: Très belle huile, riche et muti usage. Je l'utilise dans mes savons et beurres corporels. Une valeur prix/qualité avantageuse.
I love this nutritive oïl and use it in my soaps and body butters. Thanks that the price is not high !
By:Louise, Montreal, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 25-Feb-2006
Rating: Great for dry sensitive skin. Very gentle. I use up to 10% in my CP soaps. A luxurious oil at a modest price.
By:Kim, Greely, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 24-Jun-2014
Rating: Medium consistency oil with very light, almost undetectable odour. Effective moisturizing oil that I use in a facial oil blend for dry skin. On its own, it soaked nicely into my dry skin but left a light, non greasy barrier (that doesn't make my hair stick to it) and left it feeling supple.
Rating: I love using avocado oil in soaps for its rich nutrient effects. I have recently tried using it on my feet and legs and love the satiny feel. I am now using it once a week during the winter; even if the absorption rate is a bit longer than lighter oils it gives a lovely deep penetrating treatment. I also tried it out as a pre-bath massage oil, (apply over the body and leave on for 10 minutes before bathing,) which was really lovely- I found that I could repeat the massage in the bath without applying more oil, rather like an ayurvedic abhy massage. And if you add NDA Dead Sea Salts to the bath as I always do, you do not need to soap the oil off, the salts are sufficient to remove excess oil. My skin feels wonderfully conditioned, soft and silky all over, despite the harsh winter weather. I have now totally given up purchasing body lotions and creams!
By:Elizabeth, Holland Landing, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 27-Jan-2006
Rating: I use 7% in all my CP soap recipes, i use alot of avocado oil, and this is the best i've come across, there is little to no scent, its rich smooth and lusturous, gives such a creamy conditioning lather to all my soaps, my soaps are not right if i dont use avocado oil!! I even add some pureed avocado to my avocado chamomile bar soap ..so heavenly, can't beat the quality form NDA and the price is spot on!
Rating: It arrived well packaged. Lovely oil for my skin moisturizer and masks. Will definitely purchase again.
By:Pauline, Calgary, Alberta Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 25-Apr-2011
Rating: I did a lot of research looking for an oil that was great for ezcema to make a lotion for my mom! This is excellent! Very nourishing! I use it in my lip balm as well!
By:Heather, Oshawa, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 03-Apr-2013
Rating: I absolutely love this oil! Very nourishing! I put it in almost all of my CP soaps and it makes them powerful little skin food bars. Works wonders when paired with some strong emollient, especially in creams and/or leave-in products (whether hair or skin related).
Rating: Fantastique produit! Je m'en suis servi comme masque dans mes cheveux, je l'ai laissé toute une nuit et le résultat est vraiment satisfaisant. Mes cheveux étaient très doux et hydratés et je n'ai pas eu trop de mal à faire partir l'huile!
Rating: I've used this carrier oil in many applications for face cream, body butter, face cleanser and hair conditioner & shampoo with great results.
The price per volume along with high quality is the best I have found for this product. Combined with the customer service from NDA and availability from NDA for this product is why I continue to purchase and recommend NDA to friends, families and quality.

Rating: Nice! I didn't read the warning for "waxy sticky feel..." until partway through a batch. But...so far it's feeling great! Absorbs surprisingly well with a satiny finish :)
By:Deanna, Three Hills, Alberta Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 13-Jan-2009
Rating: I'm using it in my body butters and hair treatments and it works great! No scent and not too heavy.

By:Elisabeth, Caledon East, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 21-Nov-2012
Rating: This is great for hair products. I love the feel of it. It's not greasy and doesn't leave my hair feeling weighed down at all. I made an amazing leave in conditioning spray and all my customers Love it.

J'adore cette huile et je l'utilise dans mes savons, mes baumes pour les lèvres, mes beurres corporels. Le prix plus que raisonnable me plaît pas mal aussi !!
By:Louise, Montreal, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 25-Feb-2006
Rating: I have ordered Avocado Oil from NDA before and its was great but the one I received a few weeks ago have a strong funky smell to it, it doesn't smell rancid but definitely different. I wonder if it was bottled wrongly.... I used it without suspision, I ruined a whole batch of product, tried to cover it up with higher % of EOs but scent ended too strong at the end so wasted a lot of other ingredients ...
New Directions Aromatics Response:
Dear Customer, we had the lab do testing on the lot number you had specified in the email you had sent us, they did not find any rancid scent present.
In the future please keep in mind that you may always return the product within 15 days if you feel that the scent is not to your liking. Thank you.

Rating: Can't have luxury soap without avocado oil. This is another must-have in my soap ingredient list. Depending on your recipe, the 4L size will go a long way. this gallon size is easy to pour and mess-free.
By:Farkhanda, Oakville, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 19-Feb-2010
Rating: No scent, great feeling, a little goes a long way. One of my favorites.
By:Michele, Montreal, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 02-Jun-2011
Rating: This is a good addition to any lotion or cream formula, and as always, an excellent price.
By:Jackie, Dundalk, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 14-Nov-2009
Rating: Great oil, very refined, which is more suited for skin than hair in my opinion. But didn't realize when I was ordering it is refined. Big difference with unrefined. Would like to see the unrefined avocado oil too.
Rating: Wow, this stuff is amazing! It's a great addition to my bath bombs! Last night I was feeling lazy so I just added a little bit of avocado oil, peppermint EO and kaolin clay to the running water while filling the tub... My whole body AND hair have never been softer! It didn't leave a greasy residue on my hair or body. I love it!
Rating: I'd give this stuff several more stars if I could! MY FAVE of all the carrier oils! Awesome price! Excellent in a HUGE variety of things! Highly recommended!
By:Leeann, Grand Valley, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 25-May-2008
Rating: I just gave my 14 year old an aromatic massage with avocado as the base-the consistency was perfect for her dry skin and to penetrate into sore muscles!
By:Heather, Ottawa, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 11-Dec-2005
Rating: Advocado oil is very addicting in a good way. It blends well with other carrior oils I used and didn't leave any residue. I love eating the fruit so, using the oil in my products was a sound decision for me to make. I rank Advocado oil with that of olive oil and it is quoted that advocado has, "more fatty alcohols than any other fruit known to man." in Julie Gabriel's book titled "Green Beauty Guide". Even if you don't like eating the fruit, try it!
Rating: I received my order the past Monday. I really love your service and the bottles are packed beautiful and safe. Thank you very much! Didn\'t use the oil yet, just can\'t wait to give you guys a hug
Rating: I am looking forward to use this pale golden oil with my avocado butter. I think of superfatting my soaps with them. Great oil for a little price !
Cette huile est d'une couleur or pâle. Je vais faire un savon surgraissé au beurre d'avocat et contenant de l'huile d'avocat. Très appétissant pour la peau ! Le prix est plus que raisonnable !
By:Louise, Montreal, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 25-Feb-2006

Rating: Lovely oil! Used it in an Avocado oil soap. Turned out great!
By:Cathy, Sicamous, British Columbia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 02-Apr-2008
Rating: I received this oil last week and was a bit surprised to get a golden color avacado oil. I was expecting to get the unrefined green one because of the other review. Still great price, but perhaps it will be less confusing to specified on the description that this is the refined kind in golden color.
By:Kay, Vancouver, British Columbia
