ALMOND OIL

Since i've been a HealthCare Adviser at where i work guys the one item that always does be asked by the customers is do we have Almond Oil!! I don't stock it on my shelves but since so many have asked for it we went and ordered it in and i wrecking we do about 2 to 3 orders a week getting in six 70ml bottles of Almond Oil every time.

Again the customers are always looking for it for different reasons,so once again it has made me interested and i had to go and look it up and find out what it can be used for. Once again i'm taking aback with what it can do. So before you run out and get some there is in fact two types of Almond Oil a sweet and bitter almond oil. The bitter almond oil is taking from the bitter part of the almond plant and can actually be quite harmful so consumption is not recommended. Sweet almond oil on the other hand has some wonderful applications and has become more and more popular in the beauty industry. The sweet almond seed to make the oil does wonders for our skin,health and your hair.
