Everything You Need To Know
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.
