Avocados are widely considered to be one of the healthiest fruits. But Avocado Extract can also provide great results when applied topically on your skin. When it comes to skin care, avocado is an incredible moisturizer, supports anti-aging skin renewal, and imparts a healthy glow to the skin. Read on for more on how our Avocado-enriched formulas can benefit your skin in multiple ways:
The Key Skin Actives In Avocado
Avocado (Persea americana) trees first originated in Mexico. However, once the exceptional benefits of this fruit was recognized, it was and is now cultivated throughout the world.
The cold-pressed extracts or oil of the fruit is rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and antioxidants like Lutein and Zeaxanthin, and monounsaturated fats. Some of the other key bioactives in avocado that promote healthy skin care include plant omegas, sterols, and minerals like potassium.
The Benefits of Avocado
1. Deep Moisturization
With an abundance of Vitamin E, Avocado provides instant nourishment to dry and damaged skin. Containing potassium and lecithin, Avocado Extract creates a protective barrier that seals in moisture and keeps your skin hydrated and nourished.
Avocado oil is one of the key ingredients in our Vanilla Silk Body Butter. This formula is enriched with high-quality cold-pressed oils and pure botanicals that renew skin and provide long-lasting moisture. Used after bathing or before sun exposure, this body body butter can be used whenever your skin needs quenching and revitalization.
2. Relieves Symptoms of Rosacea, Eczema, Psoriasis, & other Sensitive Issues
The vitamins and antioxidants in Avocado extract relieve the symptoms of redness and irritability associated with skin conditions like eczema, rosacea, and even psoriasis.
Our Avocado-enriched SBR Cleanser not only removes impurities deep within the skin but also heals and provides a calming relief to red and irritated skin.
3. Prevents Acne
Avocado extract is a healing balm for Kapha (Oily) or acne-prone skin. The anti-inflammatory bioactives in avocado prevent the growth of acne-causing bacteria. The ingredient also soothes the skin and reduces the redness and inflammation associated with acne. Since avocado oil can hydrate skin without making it feel oily, it is highly compatible with oily skin.
To reap the benefits of Avocado, oily skin users can try our Pore Perfect Cleanser to eliminate blackheads, prevent acne, and balance the complexion naturally.
4. Soothes Sunburned Skin
The Vitamin E, Vitamin D, Beta-carotene, protein, lecithin, and essential fatty acids in Avocado extract provide immediate relief to sunburned skin.
5. Reduces Signs of Aging
Avocados contain healthy fats and antioxidants, protecting the skin from free radical damage. When used in combination with our Peptide-based Serum and other anti-aging bioactives, this formula maintains skin elasticity and reduces the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, crow’s feet, and other signs of aging.
