- Virgin/Unrefined Avocado oil is very dark green and has a distinct, yet subtle nutty scent and (may contain natural virgin sediments). Avocado Oil is great to use in skincare products, creams, soaps, hair care products, and more. Avocado Oil is quite common in anti-aging products and so has great healing benefits when applied directly to the skin. The Australian domestic demand for Australian grown Avocado’s has exploded in recent years, coupled with low crop yields and drought for our Aussie Avocado farmers. This has put serious pressure on growers to sell all their fruit for culinary/food uses to achieve the highest prices, resulting in little to no Australian Avocado fruits being available for Avocado oil production right now. To meet the ever-growing demand for premium, Virgin Avocado Oil, we have partnered with our new source in the Central Highlands of Kenya to bring you this beautiful oil. This source has rapidly become a world leader in Avocado Oil production while other countries have been struggling to keep up with demand. Our new Kenyan source is sustainable, ethical, and supports local Kenyan farmers who are doing an amazing job. In this fertile location, the Avocado crops are flourishing, while a state of the art on-site processing facility ensures the highest quality standards are met and maintained. This lovely oil is sourced as a food-grade product, and we offer it to you for cosmetic purposes only. If you've been using our Aussie Virgin Avocado oil previously, you won't be disappointed with this product. As soon as we have access to Australian Avocado Virgin Oil we will offer it again, although the supply/demand dynamics of the industry right now are pointing to this shortage continuing for some years.
