About this product


Apricot kernel oil feels like the end of a summer afternoon: light, soft, and gone into the skin almost as soon as it arrives. It is a gentle way to begin a skin care ritual, on its own or as the base of your own blend.

It comes from the kernels of Prunus armeniaca, expeller-pressed and refined, and it is non-GMO. High in oleic and linoleic acids and in vitamin E, with minerals and vitamins, especially vitamin A, it is both emollient and nourishing, and its light texture lets the skin absorb it readily. It is especially well suited to sensitive, delicate, dry and mature skin, and it makes a favorite carrier for anyone caring for skin as it ages.

Details

  • Botanical name: Prunus armeniaca
  • Method: expeller-pressed; refined
  • Non-GMO
  • High in oleic and linoleic acids and vitamin E
  • Light weight, quickly absorbed

How to use

It can be used at full strength, though it is normally used at 10 to 50% of a blend. Make it part of a basic blend for skin care, or the base of a facial or body oil for mature skin. A soft, everyday oil worth keeping close.
