Avocado is particularly rich in fatty acids, carotenoids, vitamins C and E, as well as in minerals and trace elements. These properties are partially found in avocado vegetable oil.
Avocado oil has the characteristic of being rich in unsaponifiable (<10%), unlike most fats which contain very little (0.5 to 2%). The unsaponifiable part is a concentrate of key nutritive compounds, such as antioxidants, vitamins, squalene, etc.
Antioxidants soothe oxidative stress caused by pollution and constant overwork. They trap free radicals and protect cell membranes, thus playing an important role in preventing skin aging.
