Your liver, your heart, in fact every organ of your body is under stress at one time or another. Your skin, being your largest organ, suffers stress daily yet we constantly bombard it with chemicals.

Reversing the effect of stress and age is the ‘holy grail’ of skin care.  There are many synthetic chemicals claiming to reverse skin damage. Avocado oil, however, contains the only known naturally occurring ingredient found to protect skin from aging effects and cancer by a study published in October 2010 “Archives of Dermatological Research.” According to this well regarded journal certain lipid molecules unique to avocado oil, known as polyhydroxylated fatty alcohols, were tested and found to reduce ultraviolet light damage and inflammation. Use of avocado oil prior to ultraviolet light exposure was protective and application of avocado oil to damaged skin significantly reduced cellular damage.

More importantly, the research showed avocado oil has the unique ability to reverse sun damage. Avocado Oil may be the least well known of the traditional oils, however, when it comes to skin care Avocado Oil stand out above all other oils.

Avocado Oil Massage to De-stress your Skin

Avocado oil is exceptionally light and 100% natural oil. It is renowned for its healing properties and its ability to quickly penetrate the outer layers of skin and re-hydrate without leaving a greasy residue. In a study done at the Department of Food Engineering and Biotechnology, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in 1991, it was found that avocado oil significantly increases the amount of collagen in the skin. This is most important for people whose skin is under stress from cancer treatments, surgery, and exposure to the sun and ageing.  Compared with almond, corn, olive, and soybean oils, avocado oil has the highest skin penetration rate (Swisher, 1988). Avocado oil is one of few vegetable oils not derived from seeds; it is pressed from the fleshy pulp surrounding the avocado pit.

Avocado oil comes from the avocado fruit, and is edible oil. Avocado oil, because of its skin care benefits is used in many cosmetic products and used by Avado Organics across its range.

I have been using the [Avado avocado] oil and face cream now for 1 week and cannot believe how my face feels or looks!!! I have spent a king’s ransom on products that claim to make you look younger, to reduce the site of wrinkles, to hydrate your skin etc I have finally found the pot at the end of the rainbow that lives up to its claims.

My skin is hydrate all day it feels soft and supple to touch all day and the wrinkles are less pronounced and to make it more appealing everyone can afford to look and feel good with confidence.

Thank you for taking us back to basics this is the way all skincare products should be and were before the greedy beauty industry started to miss lead us and fill our products with chemicals.

I am a customer for life THANK YOU

I couldn’t help but send you a couple of pictures of my scar.  I just can't believe how Avocado Oil has worked for me, and I tell everyone who'll listen how fantastic it is.  I had my fall on the 29/11/10 and the third photo is on 1st April 2011.  I may have had a tiny bit of foundation on, but as you can see it has almost disappeared in four months.  Unless I tell people I had 17 stitches they say they wouldn't have noticed.  I've massaged the oil into the scar twice a day, everyday without fail. I'll never stop using Avocado products now.
