While the avocado originated in central America, Tasmania’s cooler climate means that the fruit is slower-growing, giving it the opportunity to be richer, creamier and very high in natural oil content. Our local Tasmanian supplier harvests only fully mature avocados, further maximising their oil content.
Tasmanian Soap Farm blends fresh avocado fruit into its vegan skin care soap. Analysts say it:
- Moisturises and nourishes: as well as vitamin E, it contains potassium, lecithin, and other nutrients that can nourish and moisturise the skin. The outermost layer of skin (the epidermis) easily absorbs these nutrients, which also helps to form new skin;
- Relieves inflammation from psoriasis and eczema: its antioxidants and vitamins may help to heal the dry, irritated, and flaky skin associated with eczema and psoriasis;
- Prevents and treats acne: it can keep skin hydrated without leaving an oily residue. This may reduce the risk of acne. And, its anti-inflammatory effects can help to reduce pimple redness and inflammation;
- Accelerates wound healing: it assists to help wounds to heal more quickly. One 2013 study found that the essential omega-3 fatty acids and oleic acid in avocado oil can promote collagen synthesis — creating new skin during the healing process.
Let your skin soak up some avocado magic from our vegan skin care soap!
