Fresh Avocado (Persea Gratissima)

Persea gratissima

Oil-rich avocados are packed with vitamins A, B, C and E, proteins, lecithin and potassium which help to condition, soothe and deeply moisturize the skin and hair.

Avocado (Persea gratissima, syn. Persea americana) is the fruit of a subtropical tree, native to Mexico and South America. The name "avocado" is derived from the Mexican name "ahuacat", which is a shortening of the Aztec name "ahuacacuahatl". The tree is a member of the laurel family (Lauraceae) and there are approximately 500 varieties, which produce fruits ranging from small and egg-like to heavy, pear-shaped fruits.
