Avocado Extract (obtained from Persea americana)- 50g

Avocado extract typically refers to a concentrated form of avocado fruit or seed, often standardized for bioactive compounds like mannoheptulose, monounsaturated fatty acids (like oleic acid), vitamin E, carotenoids, and antioxidants. It comes in formats such as powdered extract or cosmetic formulations.

Avocado extract offers rich moisturizing, anti‑inflammatory, antioxidant, and potentially metabolic benefits. It’s especially well-suited for skincare and hair care applications. While early research hints at internal health benefits—such as support for insulin sensitivity—they remain preliminary.

🧴 Topical & Cosmetic Uses

• Deep Moisture & Barrier Support

Avocado extract (and oil) helps form a protective barrier that retains moisture and heals dryness, thanks to linoleic and oleic acids, vitamin E, and natural lipids. Ideal for dry or mature skin

• Anti‑Inflammatory & Sensitive Skin Relief

It soothes redness, irritation, eczema, psoriasis, and other inflammatory skin conditions.

• Antioxidant & Anti-Aging Support

Rich in vitamins C, E and carotenoids, avocado extract helps defend against free-radical damage, supports collagen production, and may improve skin elasticity and reduce fine lines

• Hair & Scalp Nourishment

Used in hair masks, conditioners, and serums, avocado extract helps moisturize hair shafts, smooth frizz, strengthen strands, and nourish hair follicles and the scalp.

🏃 Internal / Dietary Uses

• Digestive Health & Fiber Content

Powdered avocado extract contains both soluble and insoluble fiber to aid digestion, promote regularity, and support gut microbiome diversity.

• Antioxidant-Rich Nutritional Support

Provides vitamins C, E, minerals like potassium, and polyphenols—offering antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits beyond skincare. 

• Metabolic & Cardiovascular Support (Experimental Evidence)

Some research on unripe avocado extract (rich in mannoheptulose):

• In mice, it improved glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, and reduced body fat.

• A small human study found no overall change in glucose tolerance, but those with elevated baseline insulin AUC showed reduced insulin levels after 12 weeks.

These early findings suggest possible benefits for metabolic health, though more robust clinical trials are needed.
