What does this ingredient do in an antiperspirant?
According to CosIng, it is the fixed oil obtained by pressing the dehydrated flesh of the avocado and consists mainly of fatty acid glycerides. Its function is skin conditioning.
Part of a system, not a label in isolation
In deodorants and antiperspirants, avocado oil belongs to the skin care part and affects glide and softness during application. It does not reduce sweating.
CIR assessed 244 plant-derived fatty acid oils, including avocado oil, and concluded that they are safe as used in cosmetics.
It is generally well tolerated, but a plant origin does not rule out an individual reaction to the finished formula.
Persea Gratissima Oil is not the same as hydrogenated avocado oil or avocado oil unsaponifiables: those are separate INCI entries.
