Homemade Avocado Oil from Overripe or Damaged Avocados


Uses & Benefits:

  • Cooking: Use for sautéing, salad dressings, or drizzling over roasted vegetables.
  • Skincare: Apply directly to dry skin, lips, or mix into DIY creams and masks.
  • Haircare: Massage into scalp or use as a deep-conditioning treatment.
  • Healing: Rich in vitamin E and oleic acid, it helps soothe inflammation and nourish damaged skin.

Tips & Variations:

  • Add herbs: Infuse with rosemary or lavender for a scented oil.
  • Double batch: Use more avocados and a larger pan for bulk production.
  • No heat method: For raw oil, mash and let sit in sunlight for 2–3 days, then strain—though yield is lower.
  • Keto-friendly: Perfect for low-carb cooking and fat-rich diets.
