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.
Sweet almond oil is included because its emollient profile is useful in dry-skin formulas, and published xerosis research supports its role in improving skin hydration during daily moisturiser use.
Sweet almond oil gives water-free formulas a soft, elegant glide without making them feel heavy. We use it where a product needs a recognisable botanical carrier oil that helps condition dry-feeling skin, supports smooth application and blends well with richer butters and waxes.
