What is Cold Pressed Almond Oil?
Cold pressed almond oil is a pure, unrefined oil extracted from sweet almonds (Prunus dulcis) using a slow mechanical pressing process, without any heat, chemicals, or solvents. Unlike conventionally refined oils that are exposed to high temperatures and chemical processing, cold pressing preserves the oil’s natural composition in its most potent form.
The result is a lightweight, pale golden oil with a mild, nutty aroma, rich in Vitamin E (tocopherols), Vitamin A, Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, zinc, and natural antioxidants. These nutrients remain fully intact because they are never exposed to the heat that destroys them in refined oils.
Desi Grains pure cold pressed almond oil is organic, non-GMO, and completely free from hexane or any artificial preservatives, making it one of the most trusted natural carrier oils for skin care, hair care, culinary use, and aromatherapy.
