It also contains a high percentage of unsaturated fatty acids, a large quantity of fat-soluble vitamins, it is easily used to form emulsions and does not form sediment residues. It penetrates skin naturally and effectively, it is very oily and contains natural antioxidants in the form of tocopherol (vitamin E), making it appropriate for massage creams, aiding the absorption of substances that have difficulties penetrating the skin individually.
Avocado oil is used in bath soap in order to increase its frothiness and sanitary qualities. It is easily made into an emulsion and its low superficial tension produces soft creams and soap.
