The secret, reserved for the Royal Families of Central America for centuries, the wonderful soothing properties of avocado oil, is out! Introducing Avado Organics Certified Organic Avocado Oil – a part of the Avado Sensitives range of skin care.

Reversing the effect of stress and age is the ‘holy grail’ of skin care and avocados have traditionally been used for its restorative effect on skin.  “There are many synthetic chemicals claiming to reverse skin damage” says Avado’s CEO Greg Ferrett. “Avocado oil, however, contains the only known naturally occurring ingredient found to protect skin from aging effects and cancer.” This claim is backed up by a study published in October 2010 in the “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 a 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 stands head and shoulders above all other oils.

Avocado oil, rich in anti-oxidants and vitamins A, C and E, along with lecithin and potassium known as the “mineral of youth”, is a key ingredient of every Avado Organics product and is now available in its purest form – Certified Organic Avocado Oil.

Avocado oil is an exceptionally light and 100% natural oil. “Most people are surprised when they first us avocado oil” said Greg Ferrett “as it is nothing like other oils once applied. 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.

The soothing and healing properties of the Avado Sensitives Certified Avocado Oil make it perfect for all the family especially those seeking relief from the dryness and itching from dermatitis, psoriasis and eczema.

Created by Tammy Fenner, a mother of four, whose second child Lucy suffered from sensitive skin from an early age, Tammy’s search for a genuinely pure and chemical free skin care range led to the formulation of Avado Organics and the launch of the unique range of baby and adult products using Avocado Oil as a base. “We chose the finest most natural organic ingredients when we created Avado and are committed to quality and to our mantra - Pure by Nature™”.

The avocado oil from Avado Organics oil is extracted from avocados grown on certified organic farms using sustainable farming methods. It is cold pressed from the fruit, and is edible oil. It contains the polyhydroxylated fatty alcohols required to make it effective and maintains the anti-bacterial, anti-wrinkle and healing properties the avocado is so famous for - promoting increased skin elasticity.  Because of its skin care benefits avocado oil is used in many cosmetic products and used by Avado Organics across its range.
