I think we all know the various benefits of sweet almond oil. Sweet almond oil is yellow in colour, with little smell and a sweet, slightly nutty flavour. It is high in fatty acids, mainly oleic acid with lesser amounts of palmitic, linoleic, linolenic and stearic acids. The oil is very easily absorbed by the skin and is a popular carrier oil used by masseurs and aromatherapists. Its high content of fatty acids, softens and smoothes the skin without clogging it. Sweet almond oil helps the skin to balance its loss and absorption of moisture and promotes cell renewal. Therefore it is regularly used for dry, cracked, sensitive, wrinkled or sun damaged skin. It also strengthens, thickens and nourishes the hair. Other health and beauty uses for the oil include using the oil as a moisturizer, to remove eye make-up, to soften cuticles and ear wax, to get rid of dark circles under eyes, and to naturally prevent and treat acne. It is great in salad dressings and a useful ingredient in home-made soap making. It is well worth adding sweet almond oil to your usual beauty routine.

My experience : The oil comes in a regular, small, transparent plastic bottle with a screw cap which has a flip cap opening. When you invert the bottle and squeeze out the oil, a little oil drips down the sides of the bottle which I hate. I just wish and it had a narrow pointed kind of outlet to avoid wastage. I apply this oil to my hair directly when I am in a mood to pamper my tresses. The oil is light weight and runny and very easy to apply. It leaves my hair nice and soft and I have noticed less hairfall with its regular use. I also use this for massaging my body and I must say it leaves my skin silky smooth. I am totally in love with this oil. And just for the review purpose I tasted the oil and let me tell you its not sweet at all. Its bitter in taste and to take it orally one would definitely have to mix it with milk so as to avoid the bitterness.

Pros-

• Multi-purpose oil.
• Makes hair and skin soft and healthy.
• Nice pleasant smell.

Cons-

• Bitter taste.
• Small opening causes a little oil to drip down the sides of the bottle.

Conclusion : A good light weight oil that can be used in a variety of ways. Has benefits for hair and skin. Definitely worth purchasing.
