Avocado oil is a plant-derived triglyceride oil used as a conditioning active in leather care products. Its oleic acid content (60–70%) gives it good penetration characteristics, helping it work into the surface structure of finished leather to restore softness and flexibility. It is also used in high-end cosmetics and food products, confirming a benign health profile.

In leather care products, avocado oil is typically combined with other oils (safflower, sesame) to provide a balanced blend of fatty acids for conditioning effectiveness and finish quality.
