A fixed plant oil obtained from avocado fruit, composed mainly of triglycerides rich in oleic acid with smaller amounts of linoleic, palmitic, and palmitoleic acids. In skincare it functions primarily as an emollient and skin-conditioning oil, helping reduce transepidermal water loss and improve softness, suppleness, and barrier feel.

Interactions
incompatible with: latex allergy or latex-fruit syndrome, avocado allergy, highly comedogenic or very occlusive routines in acne-prone skin
Risks & Warnings
Generally well tolerated, but it may cause contact allergy in individuals sensitive to avocado or latex-fruit syndrome. As a richer oil, it can feel heavy and may contribute to clogged pores in acne-prone users when used in high amounts or in very occlusive formulas. Oxidation/rancidity is also a practical stability concern if poorly stored.
