Is this almond oil food grade? Can I use it for both moisturizing and cooking?

I'm not sure. It doesn't say on the bottle. It just says 100% pure almond oil, imported from Italy. I've been using it to moisturize my skin and oil my oboe and clarinet.

Yes, this is food grade PG which is probably better to put on your skin than non-food grade. You will, however, be required to find or invent your own recipes.

I'm using the almond oil for my hair because is really dry, over processed and damaged and also is good for dry hands, but not for oily skin.

Yes, because it is a natural-derived extract. You can use it for cooking, but if it was me. They do sell almond oil for cooking. If you want you can just get the one for cooking. Although yes u can use it for cooking.

I have never used this product for food, cosmetics only. If you use anything in food it should be FDA certified to be safe. There is no evidence that it has been packaged in a manner that would prevent you from getting sick if you ate a significant quantity, unless you refined it first. If you refine it then you would lose most of the properties that you are looking for in raw butters. Find one that states it is edible. Then you'll be safe

I use coconut oil daily as a body moisturizer and it is the best thing I ever use on my body. My skin is soft, healthy and has this beautiful glow. I use it every day on my face as well ...It looks like it smooth wrinkles a bit, but I must admit I also have few breakouts on my face. I use it for a 2 months already and I don't mind minor breakouts if my wrinkles are improved :). Also I used it for hair and sun protection, for oil pulling and I am cooking with it. Best discovery for me this year :) I feel my energy levels improved and my digestions is never better!

Yes it is food grade. So it shouldn't be a problem. Your amond butter may have been just a little dry. Sometimes I have to stir the oils back into it before using almond butter. The oil has no flavor at all from what I can tell.

It does not say on the bottle. I know it works great for cooking and I use it to mix with argan oil for my face and also with coconut oil for dry skin. Not sure that helps you. It is pure almonds oil. Hope that helps.

I've only purchased La Tourangelle, so I do not have anything to compare it with. Aside from that, this is a very tasty oil. I have used it in salad dressings, stir-fries, baking and received many compliments on the delicious taste this oil gives to food. Another great use for this avocado oil is to use it as a facial moisturizer. It absorbs quickly and keeps my skin hydrated all day long.

While I use sweet almond oil in my lotions, I use this product to make soap and wouldn't hesitate to use it in a lotion recipe containing olive oil.

No, however, it is not an oil to be consumed but only a fractionated oil to be used with Aromatherapy or massage oils. Not sure if it needs to be USDA approved for that. It is to be used as a Carrier Oil.

Hi Nikki . Well , although these oils are 100% pure and certainly there is nothing about them to harm you , they are also certainly not created as a food flavoring . They work as a fabulous ingredient in all of my home made skin and hair care products .

Sandra, I also use it for my hair and love it. I also use sweet almond oil for my face and body. From research I've seen, Avocado oil helps with marks. I'm new at trying, but so far love it on my skin. Have you tried pure Shea butter for marks as well?

I agree About olive oil, I do not have any experience with almond oil. Jojoba oil is not as greasy and believe me if anything was going to cause breakouts, it would happen to me and it never has with this oil. I only use oil on my face and have tried many types, this is one of my favorites:) I hope this helps.

No you should not do it , because manufacturer suggest that you should not grind anything that has oil as far as I know almond does contain oil.

I just emailed them and this is their response: 100% Pure Peppermint oil. Food grade. Considered Therapeutic grade by many companies. Top quality Peppermint and other Essential oils such as this are very popular in cooking & baking applications among others particularly during the holiday season so in that way are fine for internal use and when properly diluted external use as well. But due to their powerful pure undiluted nature they can be irritating or toxic if not used at appropriate levels and dilutions. A few drops of peppermint oil in a glass of drinking water or a small amount of topical lotion is much too powerful for example. One needs to often think of distributing fractions of a drop with a carrier oils like olive oil, coconut oil or almond oil. Very little is required in most recipes. Always follow recipes or protocols strictly.
