Gurbandi Almond Oil - 100% Pure, Cold Pressed
Cold-pressed Gurbandi almond oil, nothing added.
Gurbandi almonds, also known as chhoti giri, are cultivated primarily in Afghanistan. They make up for their small size in density: they contain more oil than their Californian counterparts, which means more omega fatty acids and antioxidants, and makes them well suited to both skin and hair.
Cold pressing extracts the oil without heat or chemicals. We keep the temperature under 50°C throughout, which preserves the nutrients and the aroma both.
Our almond oil is free of any additive or fragrance. It has its own natural nutty aroma, and it smells like almonds in every whiff. Deeply nourishing but non-sticky, it works as a body oil, a face moisturiser, a pre-wash hair oil, a post-wash scalp serum, a makeup remover — and it is gentle enough for baby massage.
