Sweet almond oil

Sweet almond oil (CAS 90320-37-9), extracted from the kernels of Prunus amygdalus dulcis, is a light carrier oil used across cosmetics, food, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. It functions primarily as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent.

The oil serves as an effective carrier medium for active ingredients and flavors. In personal care, it forms the base of facial oils, massage oils, body lotions, and hair serums for various applications.

Its skin absorption profile supports the delivery of actives without leaving a heavy residue. Food manufacturers use it as a specialty culinary oil and flavoring carrier in confectionery and baked goods.

It is also utilized in premium edible coatings for the food industry. Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical producers incorporate it as an excipient in topical preparations and soft gel capsule fill bases.

The oil is ideal for oral formulations requiring a neutral lipid carrier. In coatings and sealant formulations, it functions as a bio-based plasticizing component and lubricant additive for industrial use.

This material is essential where renewable-origin content is a specification requirement. Sweet almond oil is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid in bulk drums, IBCs, and smaller formats.

Cosmetic-grade and food-grade specifications are the standard commercial offerings. Refined and cold-pressed variants are available depending on the specific application requirements of the manufacturer.

Pharmaceutical-grade material conforming to Ph.Eur. and BP monographs is also available for regulated end uses. This ensures the highest quality standards for sensitive production environments.
