Native to Central and South America and revered for over 10,000 years, the avocado was treasured by ancient civilisations for its rich nutritional profile and was often reserved for nobility. Today, this ‘fruit of the gods’ continues to earn its title in both nutrition and personal care, thanks to its blend of monounsaturated fats, vitamins E, C, and K, and antioxidants that offer deep nourishment and restorative properties.
Our Avocado Collection
At INKY Ingredients, we’ve developed a suite of avocado-derived ingredients to support high-performance, natural cosmetic formulations:
A rich, creamy emollient, avocado butter is great for use in body butters, creams, facial moisturisers, lip balms, hair masks, and cuticle care.
Why formulators love it:
· Deeply moisturising, but non-greasy
· Easily absorbed into skin and hair
· Rich in oleic acid and essential nutrients
· Provides a velvety texture to emulsions
· Soothes irritation and supports anti-aging skincare
Avocado Oil, Cold Pressed Organic
Extracted gently from the fruit using mechanical cold-pressing, this oil retains its natural green-yellow hue and high nutrient integrity. It can be included in face oils, serums, body lotions, scalp treatments, massage oils, and natural cleansers.
Why formulators love it:
· Unrefined purity with maximum active content
· Delivers skin-regenerating antioxidants and fatty acids
· Excellent for sensitive or mature skin
· Enhances skin elasticity and hydration
Ideal when a neutral profile is required, this version is deodorised and decolourised without sacrificing performance, great for products where colour or fragrance needs to be minimised like lotions, hair care, and colour-sensitive balms.
Why formulators love it:
· Same emollient benefits, with a lighter touch
· Perfect base oil for fragrance-heavy or pigmented formulas
· Smooth spreading and glide
Avocado Wax is a natural structuring agent derived from the avocado fruit, used to add body, texture, and stability to formulations and can be included in lip balms, solid perfumes, salves, balmy cleansers, and rich body bars.
Why formulators love it:
· Plant-based alternative to synthetic or animal waxes
· Adds a natural gloss and structure
· Enhances product consistency and melting point stability
