Description

Avocado oil is one of the most nutrient-rich plant oils used in natural cosmetics. It is extracted from the creamy pulp of the avocado, a fruit that stores water and vital nutrients to thrive even in sun and dry conditions.

The oil has a velvety texture, absorbs well, and leaves the skin feeling smooth and nourished. Its scent is mild, slightly nutty, and reminiscent of fresh fruit with a hint of green, plant-like energy.

In skincare, avocado oil is a true all-rounder: rich in unsaturated fatty acids, phytosterols, lecithin, as well as vitamins A, D and E, it strengthens the skin barrier, provides moisture and supports regeneration.

At Barau, we exclusively use cold-pressed organic avocado oil to preserve its valuable active ingredients in their natural, unadulterated form.

Benefits for the skin

🤍 Regenerating: Supports cell renewal and has a restorative effect on dry or mature skin.
🤍 Protective: Rich in antioxidants, it protects against oxidative stress and free radicals.
🤍 Soothing: Relieves irritation, promotes wound healing and strengthens sensitive skin.

Special features compared to other oils

✨ Avocado oil contains high amounts of monounsaturated fatty acids (up to 70%), which penetrate deep into the skin and help retain moisture.
✨ Thanks to vitamin E and phytosterols, it supports the skin in defending against oxidative stress – an important property in environmentally induced skin aging.
✨ Its natural palmitoleic acid content is similar to the skin's own lipids, making it particularly suitable even for sensitive skin.
✨ Due to its creamy, rich texture, it is ideal for mature, dry or stressed skin – both on the face and body, as well as for rich hair care.

Suitable for

✔ Dry, mature and sensitive skin.
