I have bought other brands of avocado oil and this is by FAR the best quality. I love it. It makes my hair feel like silk..a must have oil..
Shauna Lewis (Groton, CT, US) | September 18th, 2010
I love this oil. I add it to my deep conditioner and it leave's my hair so soft and manageable. I also add it to my shea butter mix. Definately a staple in my regimen.
Dawn Troche (miramar, FL, US) | June 10th, 2010
This oil is fantastic! It had little or no smell and was surprisingly light and smooth. I used it to make a body butter... my skin loves it! Avocado oil is now a favorite.

Avocado oil is a great oil to blend with other light oils for added nutrients for the skin. It can soothe, cool and heal dry, even scaly skin. It is wonderful added to blends for elderly people, as my mother who is 89 at the time of this writing, absolutely loves the lotions and soaps I make her with Avocado oil added. She rants and raves about each box of products she receives!

Just what I've come to expect from Camden-Grey! Perfect in soap, butters, lip balms, whatever!
martha grinstead (Hickory, NC, US) | March 30th, 2010
Besides making a super soap, we use this avocado oil as a natural sunscreen. Works great for both! Keep some on hand!

This oil is very smooth and light. I like heavier oils like castor oil a little better. I smooth this on the ends of my hair or oil my skin. Sometimes I add it to my deep conditioner for extra conditioning. I gave a small sample to a friend. She swears it cured her dandruff issues.

BOTTLING/PACKAGING:
Essential oils: Are sold only in the quantities/net weights listed on our website. These oils are shipped to us by the distiller or manufacturer in industry-standard metal or plastic containers and that’s how we ship them to you.
Carrier oils and most other liquids are dispensed in individual HDPE plastic pails or containers with some type of handle, each container holds the purchased net weight of liquid.
Soft butters such as Horsetail and Almond are dispensed in plastic HDPE pails w/metal handles; those butters may remain inside the pails indefinitely when properly stored. Hard butters such as Cocoa are dispensed factory-wrapped in plastic and placed inside a box. Castile Gel is dispensed in a self-contained cubitainer with pouring spout.
NOTE: While the packaging methods mentioned above are generalized, we reserve the right to dispense and ship in any available container. If a customer at any time feels more comfortable transferring an essential or carrier oil to glass, this should be done.
Raw materials/ingredients are sold and dispensed by weight. Many customers ask how many ounces are in a pound, there are 16 ounces in one pound. These are not fluid ounces, they are ounces by weight.
