Almond Milk

Prunus dulcis

Like coconuts and oatmeal, almonds produce milk when soaked in water. Oil-rich and full of vitamin E, the milk soothes, softens and moisturises the skin and hair.

Almond crops thrive in sunny regions such as the Mediterranean, California, the Middle East and North Africa. The almond tree is part of the plum family (Prunus), and its fruits are very similar to those of the same family, such as apricot or peach. In the soft flesh hides a very hard pit, which reveals a tender almond when broken.

What are the benefits of almond milk?

• Calming
• Conditioning
• Rich in vitamin E

Almond milk can be helpful in calming itching, so it is perfect for soothing the skin and scalp, especially irritated ones. One of the reasons for this is that almonds are naturally rich in vitamin E, a useful skin-conditioning agent that helps keep our skin feeling supple and radiant, and is good for lusciously soft hair.
