Sweet Almond Oil
Feeling dry? Dull skin? Lifeless hair? One drop of almond oil can change everything.
Our organic sweet almond oil isn’t just a moisturizer — it’s a soft, soothing touch that restores balance to your skin, shine to your hair, and comfort to your body from the very first use. Packed with natural vitamin E, oleic acid, and linoleic acid, it works quietly but deeply: hydrating, softening, healing — all without a greasy trace. Just one drop… and real results you can feel from day one.
Did You Know?
Did you know that dry skin shows signs of aging up to three times faster than well-hydrated skin? According to NIH, a lack of essential fatty acids like oleic and linoleic acid weakens the skin’s barrier and increases sensitivity. Sweet almond oil naturally replenishes these lipids and delivers a protective layer that mimics your skin’s own structure.
What Makes This Oil So Special?
This cold-pressed organic oil is rich in oleic acid (Omega-9), which penetrates deeply for long-lasting hydration, and linoleic acid (Omega-6), which helps restore the skin’s protective barrier. It’s also high in natural vitamin E — a powerful antioxidant that supports skin elasticity and glow. • For your face: it softens and smooths fine lines. • For your body: it leaves skin silky after the shower and treats dry patches. • For hair: it reduces split ends and frizz, and adds a light, healthy shine. • For babies: it’s 100% safe and ideal for gentle post-bath hydration.

What Science Says:
- Commercial oils extracted with high-heat expeller presses (120°C+) lose up to 60% of antioxidants like vitamin E (PubMed, NIH).
- Screw press and continuous electric presses generate friction heat, degrading sensitive oils like almond and jojoba and accelerating oxidation (ScienceDirect).
- Solvent-extracted oils (hexane-based) may contain residue linked to long-term toxicity and have caused irritation in topical use (NIH PMC).
- At Knoz Balqees, our almond oil is slowly hand-pressed using traditional wooden cold-press machines — preserving bioactive compounds like oleic acid, linoleic acid, phytosterols, and vitamin E in their natural state (ScienceDirect).
- Seed quality matters: oils extracted from certified organic, non-GMO almonds show higher levels of fatty acids and antioxidants compared to conventionally farmed seeds (PMC).
- A clinical study published by PMC showed that regular use of cold-pressed sweet almond oil improves skin elasticity and reduces inflammation.
