Melrose Sweet Almond Oil is pressed from seeds of the almond tree - Prunus amygdalus dulcis, which are of the sweet variety, the very same as the ones you eat. Almonds are naturally rich in vitamin E, a fat-soluble vitamin that acts as an antioxidant both within your body and on your skin. Melrose Sweet Almond Oil can also be used as a carrier oil and for massage. It is light in colour and has a very mild nutty flavour.
