Everything You Need To Know

Inci: Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil

A gentle oil suitable for everyday use, for sensitive skin, dry, mature skin and babies. A great all rounder for all skin types.

Apricot Kernel Oil is a yellow to dark yellow liquid that smells a little like almond marzipan. It is obtained by cold pressing of the seed (stone) of the ripe, organic apricot fruit and is unrefined. It has very similar properties and profile to Peach Kernel Oil.

Use at 1% to 100%.

Oil soluble so cannot be used in water only products.

Heat stable so can be used in Stage 1 (fat stage) when making creams and lotions.

Apricot Kernel Oil blends very well with drier feeling oils like Chia Seed, Kiwi Seed and Rosehip Seed as it makes them feel more elegant on the skin.

Skin Care

Apricot Kernel Oil is a mild oil that is tolerated very well by people with sensitive skin.
Safe enough to use on babies as it is protective and gentle.
Great to use in anti ageing and products like eye creams.
Use under the eyes, to help smooth the skin.
Very useful in products for dry and mature skin as it softens the skin.
Very good to add to gels as a small amount leaves a very soft feeling on the skin. Use in serums and face masks.
It is a good moisturiser, keeping the skin hydrated and makes the skin very soft and smooth. Use in creams and lotions and oil blends.

Apricot Kernel Oil is a good ingredient to add to cleansers for sensitive skin.
It is excellent to use for body massage as it is absorbed slowly by the skin over 20 minutes to an hour without leaving a greasy residue.
Suitable for all skin types.

Hair Care

It can help to nourish the hair shaft and detangle the hair.
Apricot Kernel Oil has a slight astringency which will firm the scalp and hair follicles.

Organic Apricot Kernel Oil

"This is a wonderful oil. I use it primarily as a base for aromatherapy but also on its own as a moisturiser. Ive read the properties of Apricot Kernels have effect on cancer. I don't have cancer but kept applying the oil daily to a mole on my chest that was growing larger and becoming sore. After about 2 months the mole fell away on its own accord and the skin below healed up very quickly. I'm certain the oil helped this to happen."
