Origin
Sweet almond oil, a versatile and nourishing ingredient, comes from the seeds of the sweet almond tree (Prunus amygdalus var. dulcis). This ancient oil has its roots in the Mediterranean region, especially in countries like Spain, Italy, and Morocco, where almond trees flourish in warm climates. For centuries, traditional medicine and skincare practices have embraced sweet almond oil for its ability to moisturise and soothe the skin. Today, it remains an essential ingredient in many natural skincare products, including those by Simply Bee.
The process of extracting sweet almond oil begins with carefully harvesting ripe almonds from the tree. After collection, the almonds are hulled and cracked to access the kernels inside. To preserve its nutrients, producers use the cold-pressing method, where the kernels are mechanically pressed without heat. This technique ensures the oil retains its natural vitamins A and E, omega fatty acids, and antioxidants. Once pressed, the oil undergoes filtration to remove impurities, resulting in a golden, lightweight product that absorbs easily and feels gentle on the skin.
