The French Sweet Almond Oil by ODEN shows why sweet almond oil is one of the great classics of natural skincare. Its high content of oleic acid and linoleic acid provides dry skin with valuable lipids, supports its natural protective barrier, and helps reduce moisture loss. The skin feels softer, more elastic, and noticeably more comfortable - especially when it tends to feel dry, rough, or tight.
- Product type: pure French sweet almond oil with vitamin E
- Skin types: especially suitable for dry, sensitive, rough, and tight skin
- Care: supplies the skin with lipids and leaves it soft and supple
- Skin barrier: supports the natural lipid film and helps reduce moisture loss
- Soothing: gentle oil care relieves dryness-related tightness and provides greater skin comfort

- Fragrance: natural, delicate scent of roasted almonds - with no added fragrance
- Quality: virgin plant oil from first cold pressing, grown and processed in France, vegan, COSMOS Natural certified by Ecocert
What makes this almond oil special is its origin. Almonds are now cultivated comparatively rarely in France. For ODEN, they grow in the Cévennes near Nîmes on non-irrigated clay-limestone soils and are harvested and cold-pressed locally. This allows the virgin oil to retain its own character: a velvety texture and a delicate natural scent of roasted almonds, with no added fragrance.
Sweet almond oil is also known for its gentle, softening care. Naturally occurring tocopherols and phytosterols complement the fatty acid profile, while additional vitamin E protects the oil from oxidation. A pleasantly minimalist care product for anyone who wants to nourish and soothe their skin without needing a complicated formulation.

FAQ
Which skin types is the French Sweet Almond Oil suitable for?
It is especially suitable for dry, sensitive, rough, or tight skin. The gentle lipid care leaves the skin soft and supple and supports its natural protective barrier.
Why is sweet almond oil so popular in skincare?
Sweet almond oil combines a high proportion of oleic acid with linoleic acid, as well as naturally occurring tocopherols and phytosterols. As a result, it provides intensive care, feels pleasantly soft on the skin, and is very well suited to dry and sensitive skin.
What makes ODEN's almond oil special?
The almonds come from French cultivation in the Cévennes and are cold-pressed there. The virgin oil is not deodorized, allowing it to retain its delicate natural scent of roasted almonds and its original character.
Does almond oil provide moisture?
The oil itself contains no water. It supplies the skin with lipids, supports the natural protective barrier, and thereby helps it retain existing moisture more effectively.
Is the oil also suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. Sweet almond oil is often used for sensitive skin precisely because of its gentle, softening character. Naturally, it should not be used if you have a known almond allergy.
Does the French Sweet Almond Oil contain fragrance or essential oils?
No. The delicate scent of roasted almonds comes from the virgin almond oil itself. The formula contains neither added fragrance nor essential oils.
Can I also use the almond oil on my hair?
Yes. A few drops in dry lengths or ends improve softness and provide a well-groomed shine.
Can the French Sweet Almond Oil be used during pregnancy?
Yes. The oil can be used during pregnancy.
