emollient
Contains ~65% oleic acid, making it one of the richest oleic acid sources in cosmetics. Malassezia lipase readily cleaves sweet almond oil triglycerides. Problematic for seborrheic dermatitis; also contains amygdalin which can cause rare allergic reactions in nut-sensitive individuals.
Sweet Almond Oil is a emollient backed by early but promising evidence (evidence tier 3 of 4). We track 2 studies for it, 1 reporting a positive effect.
American Journal of Clinical Dermatology · 2017 · systematic review
Review: sweet almond oil has ~65% oleic acid — the highest among common cosmetic oils; low comedogenicity rating but very high Malassezia-feeding potential; excellent emollient for non-seb-derm skin but contraindicated for Malassezia-prone individuals
Journal of Clinical and Investigative Dermatology · 2015 · systematic review
Review listing sweet almond oil (~65% oleic acid) among the most problematic oils for seb derm; one of the highest oleic acid concentrations among cosmetic plant oils; Malassezia lipase readily cleaves its triglycerides to release free oleic acid
