The avocado is among the most nutrient dense of all fruits and its superfood qualities also make it a superior skin food.

It's also high in vitamins A, D and E, which help to moisturise the skin and protect it from damaging UV rays. Avocado is the perfect base for a skincare range due to its vitamin & mineral profile and its ability to act as a carrier of other actives and antioxidants deep into the dermis.
