Introducing the Owen 3 Avocado Oil. Cold-pressed or refined, cold-pressed certified organic,
or refined certified organic. However which way you choose to serve avocado oil,
it's a winner of an ingredient in your personal care formulation. Today we are going to look at
the cold-pressed and the refined organic grades to give you a good comparison. First up we have
cold-pressed avocado which is produced in Kenya. As you can see it has a lovely green tint that
It carries similar benefits to extra virgin olive oil and is equally as efficient at penetrating the
skin with its rich essential fatty acids. It's what we call a hydrator oil because it absorbs
so easily into the skin leaving a soft plump after feel. Your skin simply drinks up this stuff
and it's pretty good on your salad too. Good for both inside and out, it's what we like to call an
all-rounder. Next we have the refined organic which interestingly is produced in Ethiopia by
coffee bean farmers that use the avocado trees to shade their crops. As you can see we have a
lighter more transparent oil, this is due to its refined state. There is no aroma and little taste
which gives you a very versatile avocado oil to formulate with. Now we can't talk about avocado
oil without acknowledging that their production has a big impact on the environment.
Avocado production wherever in the world they are produced is not a climate-friendly operation as it
involves the use of a large amount of water. However innovative irrigation methods are used
to produce these two products to reduce the footprint of this ingredient. They are also
grown by cooperatives in both Kenya and Ethiopia providing income and improved infrastructure for
remote communities harvesting these fruits. One of the more complex ingredients to farm
but this really is a great hydrator for your skin, avocado oil.
