Almond Oil vs Sweet Almond Oil
You will notice that many online searches refer to just Almond Oil, but Almond oil or bitter Almond oil and Sweet Almond oil should not be confused with each other, as they are not the same.
Almond oil or bitter almond oil should not be used on the skin or ingested due to the toxic chemical amygdalin which can make this oil poisonous.
Sweet almond oil is derived from sweet almonds and is generally safe and beneficial for skin care.
