Provides deep nourishment and fights the signs of aging for softer, smoother skin

There is nothing quite like healthy fats to infuse your skin with a dose of deep hydration to help it look plumper, smoother and oh-so-radiant!

Avocado oil is brimming in healthy fats that ensures your skin stays perfectly hydrated and balanced with a gorgeous dewy glow.

Vitamin E helps to neutralize free radicals that may speed up the signs of aging while increasing elasticity in the skin.

Vitamin A will help to improve your skin barrier, locking moisture in the pores and preventing moisture loss, while B1, B2 and D will help to keep the skin cells healthy and deeply nourished.

Your skin will feel smoother, softer and wonderfully nourished!

Protects against damage and fights inflammation

Another major perk of Vitamin E? It’s the antioxidant known for helping to repair damaged skin as a result of UV damage or damage left behind after a particularly bad breakout.

Vitamin E will help to aid in tissue repair, and fade dark spots and scars with regular use, while protecting against future damage.

It has powerful anti-inflammatory properties that will also help to stop future blemishes and irritation in its tracks.

Avocado oil for your hair

The rich concentration of fatty acids along with antioxidants make avocado oil a winner when it comes to restoring parched, dull ,locks!

It will infuse your scalp with deep hydration, so you can say adios to embarrassing and itchy flakes. An array of B vitamins, along with antioxidant Vitamin E will help to make your hair silkier with a beautiful shine, as well as more manageable and easier to style.

Try massaging some into your scalp before bed and then shampooing and conditioning as usual the next day.
