maker reviews & questions
questions
Qis this an allergen concern?
kimiya staffSweet almond oil is derived from tree nuts. Highly refined oils carry less protein, but many makers label for nut origin and offer a nut-free alternative (like sunflower) for sensitive customers. Disclose it on your label.
Qcan i use it on skin as-is?
kimiya staffYes — it's a classic single-ingredient massage and body oil for external use. Patch-test first.
