Avocado Oil
INCI Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil
Overview
A rich oil pressed from the flesh of the avocado fruit, valued for its deep colour and nourishing character.
What it is
Avocado Oil is pressed from the flesh of the avocado fruit rather than the pit or seed. It typically has a rich green-gold colour and a heavier, more nourishing feel than many lighter carrier oils.
Where it comes from and how it’s made
Avocados are grown widely across warm, subtropical climates, including parts of Mexico and California. The oil is pressed from the fruit’s flesh.
What it does in a formulation
Brings a rich, nourishing texture and warm colour to a finished product.
Why Lovebee uses it
Avocado Oil has a richness that’s hard to replicate — it feels substantial in a way that suits products meant to feel indulgent rather than light. We like using it where we want a formula to carry a bit more weight and depth.
Good to know
- Vegan and entirely plant-derived.
- Patch test recommended, as with any new ingredient.
Common questions
- Is Avocado Oil the same as the oil used for cooking?
Culinary and cosmetic avocado oil come from the same fruit, though they’re typically processed and graded differently for their intended use.
- Is Avocado Oil vegan?
Yes — it’s a plant-derived oil with no animal inputs.
- Is Avocado Oil heavier than other carrier oils?
It’s generally considered richer and heavier than lighter oils like grapeseed, which is part of why it’s chosen for more nourishing formulas.
