Sweet Almond Oil absorbs into the skin efficiently and contains its own tocopherol (vitamin E) group which extends the shelf life and introduces anti-oxidants into your massage blends, and ultimately, into the patient. We only sell cold pressed and unrefined Sweet Almond Oil. This is BP'80 material, guaranteed to have been grown in lead free soils. This is not the inferior cosmetic grade Sweet Almond Oil many online retailers sell.
