Persea Gratissima Fruit Extract, commonly known as Avocado Extract, is an excellent emollient due to its high fat content. It is rich in vitamin E which protects the skin cells from damage caused by free radicals. This extract also helps strengthen the skin barrier, enhancing its ability to retain moisture. In its raw form, Persea Gratissima Fruit Extract appears as a thick, viscous liquid that is pale yellow to greenish yellow in color. Its creamy texture gives products like moisturizers, sunscreens, hair conditioners, and body butters a rich feel. Persea Gratissima Fruit Extract is largely a safe ingredient that is classified as non-comedogenic.

Origin
Persea Gratissima Fruit Extract is made by cold-pressing ripe avocados to extract the oil from the fruit. The process involves crushing the fruit and mechanically pressing it to separate the oil from the pulp. This oil can then be further refined to obtain the extract, which retains the fruit's beneficial nutrients. The extract can also be concentrated through solvent extraction or other methods to enhance its properties for use in cosmetic formulations.
