| Consistency: | Typical but slightly thicker than most Carrier Oils. |
| Certification: | Australian Certified Organic |
| Color: | Yellow/Green to Green/Brown. Avocado may turn cloudy in low temperatures but will return to clarity if gently warmed. |
| Quality: | This is classified as a Virgin oil which is a term designed by the food industry as a measure of quality. While it isn't necessarily as relevant for cosmetic use, some brands prefer purchasing virgin quality oils where possible. |
| Aromatic Description: | Characteristic, noticable aroma. |
| Absorption: | Avocado will leave a sticky, waxy feel if applied topically to large areas of skin |
| Shelf life: | Virgin Avocado oil is vulnerable to rancidity when the bottle head-space is large, if the oil is exposed to sunlight or the oil is stored in warm conditions. We recommend storing in a cool, dry location and re-bottling to smaller containers if you buy in bulk and will use the oil slowly. |
