Apricot Kernel Oil

Our Apricot Kernel Oil is cold expeller pressed from only carefully selected, certified organic kernels of Prunus armeniaca, a small, cultivated apricot tree that is believed to originate from western Asia.

Apricot Kernel Oil is a light yet highly emollient oil that absorbs rapidly into the skin. It is an unsaturated oil that is similar in texture and composition to that of Sweet Almond Oil. However, Apricot Kernel Oil possesses a slightly higher composition of the omega-6 essential fatty acid Linoleic Acid.

Uses:

Apricot Kernel Oil is light in texture, absorbs rapidly and serves as a highly versatile, nutritive oil within a wide array of cosmetic, personal care and massage products and applications. The oil helps to soften, soothe and protect the skin and leaves it feeling nourished and hydrated. It is an effective emollient and is well suited for parched, dry, itchy, mature and problem skin types. Within hair care applications, Apricot Kernel Oil helps to condition and restore vitality to dry and damaged hair.

Comments: I am so impressed with the quality of this Apricot Kernel Seed Oil! It’s incredibly lightweight yet deeply hydrating, making it perfect for sensitive skin. It absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue and leaves skin feeling soft, smooth, and glowing. I’ve also been using it as a carrier oil for essential oils, and it blends beautifully. It’s a fantastic addition to my skincare recipes and massages. The gentle nature of this oil makes it ideal for all skin types. The subtle, natural aroma is pleasant and not overpowering, and the packaging was well thought out to preserve the oil’s freshness. I truly appreciate the purity and quality of this product—it’s clear a lot of care went into its production. If you’re looking for a versatile, nourishing oil, Apricot Kernel Seed Oil is a must-have. I’ll definitely be repurchasing!
