Almond oil is categorized into sweet almond oil and bitter almond oil; sweet almond oil is typically used for both culinary purposes and skincare. Extracted by pressing the kernels of sweet almonds, it boasts a pale yellow, translucent hue, a warm, gentle, and fragrant aroma, and a fine, soft texture. As a classic, high‑end, woody plant oil suitable for both consumption and topical care, it is mild in nature and exceptionally well‑tolerated.
