Blue Diamond
Launches Almond Oil
at Global Exhibition
Almonds are benefitting the world through more
than just your taste buds. The cooperative’s New
Product Council has just completed development
of their first initiative, Almond Oil. Once the
project was completed it was handed off to the
Global Ingredients team who launched almond
oil, which is used as an ingredient, to the
health and beauty care market in April at the
in-cosmetics Global event in London. The first
customer took delivery in April.
Blue Diamond
is bringing the same attention to quality found
in the almond ingredients we supply our food customers
to the almond oil which will be used in health and beauty
products. Pure almond oil offers a unique balance that
combines the stability of high monounsaturated fatty acids
(MUFA) with enough polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) to
moisturize and absorb quickly.
“Our sweet almond oil is an essential ingredient to reinforce
what premium health and beauty products offer: softer skin,
healthier hair and the use of more natural, well known
ingredients,” noted Jeff Smith,
Blue Diamond
director of
marketing for Global Ingredients. “It’s extremely versatile—
from being the preferred choice of massage professionals
in its neat form, to the backbone of an emulsification in a
formulation, and as a natural carrier for fragrances versus
using synthetics.”
The global event attracts more than 8,500 attendees who
are interested in learning about the development of new
products and future trends within the health and beauty
care segment.
