Avocado Oil

Avocado offers incredible benefits for hair. Much like argan oil, avocados contain a wealth of antioxidants, fatty acids, and various vitamins that help to nourish, hydrate, and protect hair.

You'll usually find it listed as 'persea gratissima (avocado) oil' on the ingredients lists of products that contain it. This oil, rich in vitamins, fatty acids, and antioxidants, has become a cornerstone in hair care and coloration.

More about Avocado Oil

Avocado oil not only nourishes and strengthens hair from the inside out due to its monounsaturated fats but also provides remarkable moisturization, especially for dry and coarse hair. Its ability to penetrate deep into the hair shaft helps in locking in hydration, guarding against brittleness and ensuring a healthy, vibrant shine.

What is avocado oil?

Avocado oil is a plant-based oil used for its moisturizing and protective properties. It is rich in fatty acids such as oleic acid (up to 66%) and palmitic acid (12 to 24%). It also contains vitamins A, E and D.

Where does Garnier source its avocado from?

As with all the brand’s naturally derived ingredients, Garnier has implemented a sourcing from producers certified organic and Fair for Life or Fair for Life in Mass Balance. Garnier sources part of its avocado oil from small producers in Kenya and Tanzania. The Fair for Life certification verifies, among others, the application of the fairly traded principles.

To produce avocado oil in cosmetic products, the fruits that are taken are those that, due to lack of size, are not suitable for export and sale to the food industry. Their use in the production of avocado oil is an important source of income for small producers. This also gives them access to funding for community projects.

What are the benefits of Avocado Oil for hair?

Avocado oil, with its rich blend of vitamins, fatty acids, and antioxidants, has become a cornerstone in hair care and coloration. Its unique ability to penetrate deep into the hair shaft, thanks to its monounsaturated fats, nourishes, and strengthens hair from the inside out. This provides remarkable moisturization for dry and coarse hair, locking in hydration and ensuring protection from brittleness.

The transformative power of avocado oil is amplified when paired with other nourishing ingredients. Garnier’s Whole Blends Avocado and Shea Butter Shampoo and Conditioner harness both avocado oil's moisturizing prowess and shea butter's protective qualities. This combination ensures hair that’s resilient, soft, and radiant, making it a perfect everyday solution.

But the magic of avocado oil extends beyond routine care to the realm of hair color. Garnier’s Nutrisse Cream and Nutrisse Ultra Color, infused with avocado oil, offers long-lasting shades up to 8 weeks while ensuring hair remains deeply nourished. For those times when your color seems to fade, the Nutrisse Cream Color Reviver, with avocado oil at its heart, rejuvenates the hue, providing both softness and renewed vibrancy.

In essence, avocado oil offers a holistic approach to hair health, whether you're cleansing, conditioning, or coloring.
