The Skincare Superfood: Why Mumu Bath Loves Avocado Oil

Hello, beautiful people of Brooklyn and beyond! Here at Mumu Bath, we believe that nature holds the key to true beauty. As a Brooklyn-based natural skincare brand, we are passionate about using the finest natural ingredients to help you achieve radiant, healthy skin. One of our all-time favorites? The mighty avocado. (Well, avocado oil.)

You might already love avocados in your toast or smoothie, but did you know that avocado oil is also a powerhouse when it comes to skincare? Let's explore why we adore this versatile oil and why we've incorporated it into several of our products, including our Avocado Body Soap, Lightweight Body Butter, and Body Oils.

Why Avocado Oil for Natural Skincare?

Avocado oil is like liquid gold for your skin. Extracted from the pulp of ripe avocados, this oil is packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and rich fatty acids that work wonders for skin health. Here’s why we’re head over heels for it:

  1. Nutrient-Rich Goodness: Avocado oil is a treasure trove of essential nutrients like Vitamins A, D, and E. These vitamins help nourish and protect your skin to give it a boost of youthful radiance.
  2. Deep Hydration: One of the standout benefits of avocado oil is its ability to penetrate the skin deeply. It provides intense hydration without leaving a greasy residue, making it ideal for all skin types.
  3. Antioxidant Power: Rich in antioxidants, avocado oil helps combat free radicals – those pesky agents that contribute to skin aging. It’s like giving your skin a protective shield against environmental stressors.
  4. Boosts Collagen Production: The oleic acid in avocado oil promotes collagen synthesis, which is essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. Say hello to smoother, plumper skin!
  5. Soothes and Heals: If you have sensitive or irritated skin, avocado oil’s anti-inflammatory properties can help soothe and heal, making it perfect for anyone dealing with skin issues like eczema or psoriasis.
  6. Sun Protection: While it definitely shouldn’t replace your sunscreen, avocado oil does offer an added boost of protection against UVA and UVB rays, thanks to its antioxidant content. Better yet, use cold-pressed avocado oil skincare products for sunburn care if you accidentally get a little too sunkissed.

Why Avocado Oil Outshines the Rest

With so many natural oils out there, you might wonder why we chose avocado oil. Here’s the scoop:

  • Absorption: Have you ever slathered on synthetically fragranced lotion only to have your skin feeling even drier than it was before? Avocado oil is celebrated for its ability to penetrate the skin deeply and quickly, unlike other oils that may sit on the surface.

  • Superior Moisturizing:Compared to lighter oils like grapeseed or jojoba, avocado oil offers a richer and more intense hydration, making it ideal for dry and sensitive skin types. Avocado oil is excellent for maintaining soft, hydrated skin in the colder months. (Avocado is excellent for those who live in dry climates.)

  • Nutrient-Rich: It's hard to beat the nutrient profile of avocado oil. Few oils pack in as many vitamins and essential fatty acids. Cold-pressed avocado oil (as we use) has high amounts of oleic fatty acid, which protects, strengthens, and nourishes your skin. 

  • Less Greasy: Avocado oil strikes a perfect balance – it’s hydrating without feeling overly greasy, making it suitable for both oily and dry skin types. 
    Note: products with avocado oil may be a bit too heavy to use on your face if you are prone to acne, but it is fantastic for your body. We strategically formulated specific products with avocado oil.

  • Versatility: It’s suitable for all skin types, from sensitive to dry to oily. Avocado oil adapts to your skin's needs, making it a versatile choice for our range of products.
