Sapote Oil, Cold Pressed is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds, kernels, or fruit of its source plant. Cold pressing preserves the oil's natural fatty acids, antioxidants, and phytonutrients without the use of heat or solvents, resulting in a richer, more nutrient-dense oil.
A valued emollient that helps restore and maintain the skin's natural moisture barrier. It absorbs readily without leaving a heavy, greasy residue, making it suitable for moisturisers, serums, and body oils.
