Common Uses: Small amounts of Avocado Oil is typically added to other carrier oils in order to enrich protein and vitamin content.  It is used predominantly by manufacturers (particularly great in soaps, lotions and creams) and massage therapists. 
Avocado oil can be used to soothe the skin and has moisturising properties which makes it ideal for dry, mature skin and assists in the healing of undernourished, parched skin, eczema and nappy rash.
Consistency: Typical but slightly thicker than most Carrier Oils.
