Common Uses: Small amounts of avocado oil are typically added to other carrier oils in order to enrich protein and vitamin content. It is used predominantly by manufacturers (particularly great in soaps, lotions, and creams) and massage therapists.

Absorption: Avocado may leave a sticky, waxy feel if applied topically to large areas of skin, but I find that it absorbs well for most clients.
