Almond Oil

Pure. Versatile. Sustainably Pressed.

At OPW Ingredients, our mission is to deliver the purest plant-based oils through sustainable, chemical-free, and zero-waste production. PLANT IX® Almond Oil is one of our flagship ingredients — a cold-pressed, high-performance oil crafted from premium sweet almonds sourced from trusted organic and conventional growers in California, Spain, Portugal, and Italy.

We process our almonds using gentle mechanical pressing in our specialized facilities, ensuring no use of solvents, additives, or water. The result is a 100% natural oil rich in nutrients, functional benefits, and clean label appeal — ideal for the food & beverage, cosmetics, personal care, pharmaceutical, and animal nutrition industries.

Almond Oil details

Origin and processing

Our almonds (Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis) are carefully selected and dehulled before undergoing cold pressing at low temperatures in a dedicated nut oil facility. This process preserves their naturally high oil content (up to 50%) and safeguards their nutritional properties. The resulting oil is lightly golden with a soft, nutty aroma and smooth texture — available in conventional and organic quality, with certifications including DE-ÖKO-007, NATRUE conform, and KOSHER.

Composition and characteristics

PLANT IX® Almond Oil features an optimal balance of essential fatty acids:

Oleic acid (Omega-9): 62–86%– Deeply nourishing, enhances skin penetration
Linoleic acid (Omega-6): 7–30%– Moisturizing and barrier-repairing
Palmitic acid: 4–9%– Skin-softening and protective
Naturally rich in alpha-tocopherol (Vitamin E)

Applications across industries

PLANT IX® Almond Oil is renowned in skin and hair care due to its mildness, high biocompatibility, and fast absorption. It is especially valued in:
