At Mantra Bee, every ingredient tells a story of care, connection and conscious choice. One of our most beloved ingredients, Sweet Almond Oil, is lightweight, vitamin‑rich and easily absorbed; making it ideal for daily skin, hair and wellness rituals crafted right here in Australia.
🌿 Why We Use Sweet Almond Oil
Sweet almond oil, cold‑pressed from the seeds of Prunus dulcis, is packed with essential fatty acids like oleic and linoleic acids; antioxidants such as vitamin E; and skin‑soothing minerals, making it a naturally nourishing choice DrAxe.
✨ Skin‑Deep Benefits
Hydration without heaviness; its fatty acid profile helps the skin lock in moisture and strengthens the skin barrier; key for dry or sensitive skin MedicalNewsToday.
Anti‑inflammatory and antioxidant support; vitamin E and linoleic acid help calm redness and irritation while protecting against oxidative stress TheList.
Dermatitis and eczema support; a moisturiser containing 7% sweet almond oil showed significant improvement in moderate to severe hand dermatitis symptoms including redness, itching and stinging JDD Online. "A published case series in the International Journal of Dermatology documented the effects of almond oil in ten patients with moderate eczema who had not responded adequately to conventional treatments." NCWellnessHub. Although larger clinical trials remain limited, these findings suggest almond oil is a safe and helpful complementary option; but we are not suggesting it is a replacement for medical treatments.

🌏 Sustainably Grown in Queensland
We source our almond oil from producers in Queensland committed to sustainable, regenerative farming. As our supplier states:
“We collaborate with growers who share our commitment to sustainable land care and regenerative farming; these practices improve soil health and biodiversity and rebuild wildlife homes. Being located close to the growing regions means fewer transport kilometres and a lighter environmental footprint. After oil extraction, the leftover material is redirected into high‑protein animal feed, keeping valuable resources out of landfill.”
This approach aligns seamlessly with Mantra Bee’s ethos; nourishing both skin and planet.

Stand‑alone studies are limited; but combined with traditional use and promising early clinical findings, it offers credible, plant‑powered skin support.
