Bodyality™’s Sweet Almond Oil – A Final Word

Getting to Know Bodyality’s Sweet Almond Oil
The benefits of Sweet Almond Oil have been known for thousands of years. Almonds are
probably the healthiest and most beneficial nuts in nature, and their oil has been used as an
ancient remedy for many ailments and conditions. Sweet Almond oil is made by pressing the
dried kernels of the Sweet Almond Tree. What comes out of the process is the golden medicinal
oil which is proven to be rich in vitamins, minerals and fatty acids. Many of the benefits and
uses of our Sweet Almond Oil are outlined in this book.
To give you a brief history, Sweet Almond Oil has been known since the mid 3000 B.C. It was
already widely recognized in Ancient Greece and Italy. Literature clearly shows that people then
were already aware of its properties and benefits. Ancient Greek Mythology, the Bible and even
the writings of Shakespeare mention Almonds and their oil. It’s an old, old knowledge from
people who were more attuned to nature than we are now.
Page | 3
There are 2 types of Almonds – the Sweet Almond and the Bitter Almond. The tree is native to
South Asia and the Middle East. What distinguishes one from the other is that Sweet Almond
and its oil are both odorless. Sweet Almond Oil is a golden liquid that has a subtle nutty taste.
Of the two types of Almonds, Sweet Almond is the one that’s edible and the extract from its
seed is widely used by the cosmetic and health industries. Bitter Almond Oil, on the other hand,
is an essential oil that is highly potent and toxic in its pure form. It consists of glucose, cyanide
and benzaldehyde. It is only used for its delightful almond scent. It is not edible and does not
have medicinal properties like the Sweet Almond Oil.
The Benefits of Sweet Almond Oil
Since our product is made from 100% Sweet Almond Oil, it has retained all of its medicinal and
healing properties. You can be assured that our Sweet Almond Oil does not contain chemicals.
It’s nature’s medicine in a bottle.
Here are the reasons why Bodyality’s Sweet Almond Oil is good for you:

It is composed of 3 essential fatty acids which are the secrets to its moisturizing power.
These are the Linoleic, Oleic and Palmitic Acids. Linoleic is an Omega-6 Fatty Acid and
on its own, is a proven anti-inflammatory that helps retain moisture in the skin when
applied. This means that you will have fewer wrinkles and you can say goodbye to dry
skin!

It is rich in Vitamins E, D, A, B1, B2 and B6, which help nourish your skin, smooth your
complexion and even help cells regenerate and repair themselves.
Page | 4

It is a powerhouse of 2 essential minerals – Magnesium and Calcium. Calcium in your
epidermis helps the body build new cells and tells the body to let go of old skin. Calcium
deficiency in the skin makes it look dry and unhealthy! Magnesium is a wonderful
infection fighter. It’s helpful in curing acne, psoriasis, eczema and even warts, when
applied. It will make your hair supple and your nails healthy and strong.

The Vitamin E in the oil helps protect your skin from the damaging UV rays.

Ladies, you’ll be happy to know that it can be used during pregnancy to prevent and get
rid of those unwanted stretch marks! Again, this is because Sweet Almond Oil is such an
excellent moisturizer.

It is a mild and lightweight oil, which is one of the reasons why it’s a popular additive to
beauty products. It doesn’t leave your hair and skin greasy like most oils and is perfect
as a massage oil.

It is good for all skin types. Most people think that oil increases acne breakouts, but
that’s not true with Sweet Almond Oil. It is absorbed easily by the skin, doesn’t clog the
pores and doesn’t cause acne or any other skin conditions.

It nourishes the cuticles of your hair, promotes growth (men will be glad to know that),
helps repair your damaged hair shafts and makes your hair shiny and lustrous.

It seals the moisture into your hair and leaves it soft and manageable. No more split
ends!

It contains anti-oxidants, which are known for their anti-aging properties, keeping the
skin healthy and youthful.

It has no chemical components.

For your Skin
Our skin is constantly exposed to damaging factors that make it dry and cause it to age
prematurely. While we can’t avoid the effects of aging, we can delay them. Our skin is sensitive
and the sun’s rays can damage it if we’re not careful. The stress of our daily lives can also take
its toll. Sweet Almond Oil has many beneficial properties and has been used for centuries to
treat skin conditions.
What are the benefits of using Sweet Almond Oil on your Skin?

The oil traps moisture in the skin, making it an effective moisturizer. It helps combat the
drying effects of the elements by preventing the loss of moisture on the skin.

caused by aging and dryness.

It has an anti-inflammatory effect which is why it’s very effective in treating Psoriasis and
Eczema and skin allergies.

the skin glowing and soft.

The Vitamin E in the oil helps minimize discoloration of the skin, such as dark circles

moisturizing properties and the fact that it’s not greasy on the skin makes it a perfect ingredient
for Massage Candles. It will treat dry skin and leave your skin silky, smooth and slightly scented.
How to use a Massage Candle

Light the candle and let it melt for 20 to 30 minutes until a melted pool forms.

When used as a base for making Scented Oils
Sweet Almond Oil is probably the most widely used carrier oil. It is odorless and it’s good for all
skin types. It’s a hydrating and awesome lubricant! Besides, the anti-oxidant properties of
Vitamin E give the oil a longer shelf life. It is also absorbent, non-greasy and retains the scent
well. Another type of Scented Oil is used in Aromatherapy. It requires the use if a burner to
release the scent. Carrier oils are used since Essential Oils by themselves are too strong and
needs to be diluted. Here are some recipes if you want to make your own scented oil.
How to make Scented Oil for Aromatherapy
The combination is 50% Sweet Almond Oil and 50% Fragrance Oil.
(Choose your favorite scent)
Mix equal parts of the 2 oils and pour in a bottle.
You can now pour a few drops of the Scented Oil in your burner.
When using Essential Oils, just pour a few drops on the bottle containing the Sweet Almond Oil.
Adjust the amount depending on the strength of the Essential Oil, which varies.
** Note: Do not bombard your senses with strong fragrances. Use just enough scent to fill the
air around you.
How to Make Scented Oil for Skin and Hair Applications
Prepare a clear or amber glass container with a cap.
Using a funnel, fill the container with Sweet Almond Oil.
Add the Essential oil one drop at a time to test the strength of the scent.
Page | 17
If you are using a Fragrance Oil instead of an Essential Oil, you will need to add more.
The Formula:
3 drops of Essential Oil for every 1 oz. of Sweet Almond Oil
20 drops of Fragrance Oil for every 1 oz. of Sweet Almond Oil
Once you are satisfied with the scent, screw the cap on tightly.
Place the container in a dark place for 3 to 5 days.
(The infusion process gives the scent time to mix with the oil in the container)
When used as an ingredient for Lotions

greasy and easily absorbed by your skin. You already know of the oil’s moisturizing properties. It

Bodyality’s Sweet Almond Oil – A Final Word
There are many ways you can benefit from our Sweet Almond Oil. Here are a few notes to help
you make the most of its benefits:

If you’re allergic to nuts in general, you might also get an adverse reaction from the oil.
Although, did you know that Almonds are not really nuts? It’s a drupe, a kind of fleshy
fruit in the same family as the Cherry and the Plum. But just to be sure, put a small
portion of the oil on your skin to test for allergic reactions.

Exfoliating is good for the skin as it removes dead skin cells, but over exfoliating can
also be damaging due to the constant abrasion. Don’t exfoliate more than once or twice
a week.

Our Sweet Almond Oil is not edible. Don’t add it to your food or drink.

Oil from Bitter Almonds should not be used on the skin.
