Sweet almond oil — known as Badam Rogan in Unani medicine and Vatada Taila in Ayurveda — has been prescribed by practitioners of both traditions for over 3,000 years. Modern dermatology and trichology are now confirming these ancient applications with peer-reviewed science.
**Composition of Cold-Pressed Almond Oil**
- Oleic Acid (Omega-9): 62–86% — deeply moisturising, enhances skin barrier function
- Linoleic Acid (Omega-6): 20–35% — anti-inflammatory, balances sebum production for acne-prone skin
- Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol): 26mg per 100g — the most potent naturally occurring skin antioxidant
- Zinc, Magnesium, Phosphorus: Essential minerals for cellular repair and hair keratinization
