Avocado oil is a heavy, nutrient-rich carrier oil ideal for dry or mature skin, nourishing deeply with oleic acid. Due to its thick consistency, it is often blended with lighter oils for better absorption. Use a 1%–3% dilution (roughly 1–3 drops of essential oil per teaspoon of avocado oil) for safe topical application.
