high level of polyunsaturation, we feel this as a dry feeling on our skin when we apply it. These different attributes must be balanced. Saturated fats tend to have longer shelf lives as the same physical structure which help them stack, block oxygen from creating peroxide reactions. Polyunsaturated fats feel dry on the skin, and when left open overnight often become sour and unusable.
Sweet almond oil’s unique balance of acids and fats When Blue Diamond entered this market we set up rigorous testing protocols. When we got the results back from sweet almond oil, we were pleasantly surprised to see the breakdown of fatty acids. Sweet almond oil has a relatively unique balance of monounsaturated fatty acids with polyunsaturated fatty acids. The research1 suggests that the more unsaturated fatty acid, in this case linoleic fatty acid favour the beta position of the triglyceride, or the middle location. With a 2:1 oleic to linoleic ratio, sweet almond oil is in effect a collection of mostly glycerol-mono-linoleic- di-linoleate molecules.
In contrast, sunflower oil, a common low-cost option, normally is a collection of mostly glycerol-tri-oleate molecules. This molecule may be less readily available to be
integrated into the lipid envelope of the stratum corneum. This may tend to provide a greasier feel compared to sweet almond oil as it will take longer to disperse over the skin. This gives sweet almond oil some of the best advantages of different configurations without many of the disadvantages. In effect, because most of the triglycerides have a
polyunsaturated component to them, sweet almond oil feels dry and absorbs rapidly. However, since it also has monounsaturated fatty acids, it is more stable and stands up to heated formulations.
This ratio of monounsaturated oleic and polyunsaturated linoleic is also present in argan oil, which is a very premium option as well due to skin-feel and consumer recognition. Sweet almond oil has many of the technical advantages of argan oil while still being considered by consumers as a specialty oil, yet the price point can be much more attractive in a health and beauty formulation. As we dug deeper into the constituents that make up sweet almond oil, we found that there were compounds beyond the triglycerides in the mix. Held in the non- polar substrate of the oil were
phytochemicals, these are compounds which are secondary metabolites and serve a purpose for the kernel that is not entirely understood.
Often these phytochemicals are useful
for different applications. The natural occurring tocopherols help stabilise the oil itself by scavenging free radicals, which can
