Plum oil (INCI is Prunus domestica) smells amazing similar to almonds. Gourmet chefs will use it as a flavoring agent. It is made by splitting open plum kernels and pressing them very slowly through mechanical devices; that is where most of the nutrients are. Possessing large amounts of vitamin E and vitamin C, this oil has a golden yellow color with fruity accents. Plum oil also contains about 20% linoleic acid or Omega-6 (omega fatty), an essential fatty acid essential to the body.
Plums are loved around the world; the second-most cultivated fruit in the world. Plums can be found in a rainbow of colors and are cultivated all over the world, including places like Iran, Japan, North America, France and India. They tend to grow best in temperate climates with plenty of sunshine and well-drained soil.
