Sweet Almond oil is obtained from the nut of the tree， which is native to Asia and the Mediterranean. This oil is a popular carrier oil to use in aromatherapy blends， although it's often used by itself for moisturizing skin. The oil is a great nutrient for softening and conditioning skin. Since it contains glucosides， vitamins and minerals， Sweet Almond oil makes a fabulous massage oil. Sweet almond oil is widely used in lotions， balms and soap; it saponifies easily and produces a mild soap with very good lather.
