Bitter Almond Oil

Description

Bitter Almond Oil is extracted through a cold-pressing method from the seeds of the bitter almond tree (Prunus amygdalus var. amara). Unlike sweet almond oil, bitter almond oil has a stronger flavor and aroma due to its higher content of benzaldehyde, which gives it a characteristic bitter taste.

Key Features:

• Rich in Nutrients: This oil is packed with essential fatty acids, vitamins E and B, and antioxidants that promote healthy skin and hair.
• Cosmetic Uses: Bitter almond oil is often incorporated into skincare products for its moisturizing and soothing properties. It can help alleviate dry skin, reduce inflammation, and improve overall skin texture.
• Culinary Applications: While typically used in small quantities due to its strong flavor, it can enhance desserts, confections, and various dishes.
