What is Avocado?

An avocado is a large single-seeded berry. Yes, a berry! This is because it develops from the ovary of a flower and contains a single seed. So, officially, it's a fruit. Avocados are native to South Central Mexico. Evidence suggests they've been cultivated there for thousands of years, possibly as far back as 8,000 BCE.

While many types exist, the most common variety you'll find globally, especially in India, is the Hass avocado. It's easily recognizable by its bumpy, dark green to purplish-black skin when ripe. They are unique because they don't ripen on the tree. They need to be picked to start the ripening process.

Avocados are primarily known for being rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), especially oleic acid. Avocados are an excellent source of dietary fiber, both soluble and insoluble. This fruit is loaded with Vitamin K, Folate (Vitamin B9), Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin B6, and Potassium.

Avocado oil has a vibrant green color and a rich, buttery, slightly nutty aroma. It has a smooth, non-greasy texture, making it highly absorbent.

For skin, avocado oil is an excellent emollient. This means it smooths and softens the skin, filling in gaps between skin cells. It's particularly beneficial for dry, dehydrated, or mature skin because it provides deep, lasting hydration. The high concentration of Vitamin E in avocado oil is a major plus for skincare. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals. Unlike some heavier oils, avocado oil is known for its ability to penetrate deeply into the epidermis (the top layer of skin) without leaving a greasy residue.

What does Avocado do to your skin?
