Botanical field note
Research and evidence
We do not choose ingredients because they sound natural. We look at supplier quality, formulation role and available research before an ingredient earns a place in a Skin Botanist formula. For customers who want to go deeper, the reputable research papers and source notes we have reviewed are listed below.
Research into avocado oil has explored skin-repair pathways, including collagen synthesis and inflammatory-cell activity. This supports avocado oil as a rich botanical oil for cushioning dry-feeling skin and helping maintain a comfortable, nourished feel.
Chosen for formulas that need extra comfort and richness. It supports the Skin Botanist preference for plant oils that can do real formulation work rather than acting as filler.
Certified Organic; clouding at cool temperatures is normal for this oil.
Patch test before use. As a rich oil, it may feel too heavy for some oily or congestion-prone skin types.
