Avocado oil is one of the few oils produced from the fruit rather than its stone; it was discovered in Mexico and then spread to other regions. The balanced composition of oleic and palmitic acids in avocado oil is quite similar to that of the fatty substances of human skin, and this makes it an exceptionally nourishing substance, tolerated by even the most sensitive skin types. Avocado oil nourishes dry and dehydrated skin, and restores its elasticity.
