Frequently Asked Questions About Our Almond Oil

Important questions from global buyers choosing Almond Oil for production.

For the bulk cosmetic and carrier oil markets, DITCO exclusively supplies Sweet Almond Oil (Prunus amygdalus dulcis). Sweet almond oil is a “fixed oil” prized for its high emollience and safety in skincare. This is technically distinct from Bitter Almond Oil (Prunus amygdalus amara), which is an essential oil that naturally contains amygdalin (a precursor to hydrocyanic acid) and is strictly regulated and processed primarily for specialized fragrance and flavoring applications.

Yes. Our Almond Oil is produced through 100% mechanical cold-pressing, maintaining processing temperatures strictly below 40°C. We do not use any chemical extraction solvents like hexane. This unrefined, virgin extraction method is critical for “clean-label” cosmetic formulators because it preserves the oil’s natural Alpha-Tocopherol (Vitamin E) content and phytosterols, ensuring maximum antioxidant benefits for the end user.

Our export-grade Sweet Almond Oil boasts a highly stable and nourishing lipid profile. It is exceptionally rich in Oleic Acid (Omega-9), typically ranging between 65% and 80%, along with Linoleic Acid (Omega-6) at 20% to 30%. This specific fatty acid ratio gives the oil a medium absorption rate and excellent spreadability, making it the industry standard carrier oil for massage blends, body lotions, and hair care formulations.

Due to its high demand, Almond Oil is frequently adulterated in the global market with cheaper alternatives like sunflower, soybean, or apricot kernel oil. DITCO guarantees 100% pure, unadulterated Sweet Almond Oil. Every bulk lot is tested via Gas Chromatography (GC) profiling to confirm that the sterol and fatty acid compositions perfectly match the botanical standard for Prunus dulcis. We provide a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment.

To prevent rancidity and ensure a long shelf life for your manufactured goods, we enforce strict chemical stability limits. Our technical specification guarantees a maximum Peroxide Value of 10.0 meq O2/kg and an Acid Value of maximum 2.0 mg KOH/g. For wholesale B2B shipments, the oil is packaged in 25 kg opaque HDPE canisters, 190 kg steel drums, or 900 kg IBC Totes. To protect against oxidation during sea freight, we utilize nitrogen blanketing to flush out oxygen from the headspace of the containers, securing a shelf life of up to 24 months.
