Persea Gratissima Oil.

What it does

It is a very rich, highly moisturizing emollient that penetrates and conditions skin and hair.

Benefits

• Very rich, nourishing emollient that moisturizes dry skin and conditions hair
• Supplies antioxidant vitamin E and skin-beneficial sterols (beta-sitosterol)
• Penetrates skin well to soften multiple layers

Side effects

• A heavy, oleic-rich oil that can feel greasy and may be too rich or pore-clogging for oily, acne-prone skin
• Its oleic/palmitic acids sit in the C11-C24 range that lipid-dependent Malassezia yeast can feed on, so it is generally flagged as a potential fungal-acne (Malassezia folliculitis) trigger

Who it's for

Dry or mature skin and dry hair wanting a rich, nourishing oil

Who should be careful

Oily, acne-prone, or fungal-acne (Malassezia folliculitis)-prone skin should be cautious on the face
