Persea Gratissima, or Avocado Oil, may be best known as a healthy kitchen staple—but what many parents don’t realise is just how remarkable this green fruit is when applied to the skin—especially your baby’s.
Cold-pressed from the flesh of ripe avocados, this golden oil is rich in skin-supportive nutrients that go far beyond surface hydration. In Onea’s Baby Moisturiser, Avocado Oil plays a quiet but powerful role—nurturing sensitive baby skin with deep care and natural resilience.
Let’s look at what makes this ingredient so special.
1. Rich in Skin-Penetrating Fatty Acids
Unlike some oils that sit on the skin, avocado oil is high in oleic acid, a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid. This allows it to penetrate deeply into the skin rather than just forming a surface layer. For your baby, this means real nourishment at the level where the skin builds its strength and softness—helping protect against dryness and irritation before they begin.
2. Natural Source of Biotin
Avocado oil is one of the few plant oils that contains biotin (Vitamin B7)—a nutrient crucial for maintaining the skin’s integrity and supporting new skin cell growth. While biotin is better known for promoting healthy hair and nails, its presence in avocado oil can be especially helpful for fortifying your baby’s delicate skin barrier, especially during growth spurts or environmental changes.
3. Sterol Power: More Than Just Moisture
Avocado oil is rich in plant sterols, also known as phytosterols. These naturally mimic the structure of cholesterol found in the skin and help strengthen the skin barrier. A strong barrier is essential for babies, especially in dry or polluted environments. These sterols also reduce transepidermal water loss, helping the skin retain its natural moisture without clogging pores.
4. Supports Wound Healing
Scientific studies have shown that avocado oil promotes collagen synthesis and accelerates wound healing. This makes it ideal for babies prone to minor scratches, dry patches, or irritation from drool, milk rash, or diaper rubbing. It's not just soothing—it helps the skin actively recover, naturally.
5. Naturally High in Vitamin E and Lecithin
Avocado oil is abundant in Vitamin E, an antioxidant that shields the skin from oxidative stress and helps soothe inflammation. It also contains lecithin, a lipid that delivers nutrients directly into the skin. Together, they offer calming, conditioning, and protective effects—without any artificial preservatives or harsh chemicals.
