Cold-pressed from the green flesh of the Persea americana fruit, Avocado Oil has a sweet and fatty odor. The thick viscosity of this oil makes it especially popular among heavy shampoos, lotions, and other “deep cleaning” personal care products designed to promote skincare effects. The flavor of avocado oil does not carry the same strong profile of the fruit’s actual meat, though it still retains a grassy, lightly nutty nuance.
