Apricot kernel oil, certified organic
Organic, cold‑pressed apricot kernel oil, derived from the kernels of apricots, has been valued in natural skincare traditions for its lightweight texture and nutrient‑rich composition. Traditionally used to help moisturise and soften the skin, this oil has become a popular ingredient for those seeking a naturally healthy, radiant complexion. Its similarity to peach kernel oil further underscores its longstanding appeal in beauty routines.
Skincare Uses
Moisturisation and nourishment: Apricot kernel oil is often used in skincare formulations to help keep the skin hydrated and soft, thanks to its rich content of essential fatty acids and nutrients.
Lightweight and easily absorbed: Its light texture allows it to spread well and absorb quickly, making it suitable for various skin types, including oily and combination skin.
Skin softening: Regular use is said to help soften rough and dry areas, contributing to a smoother overall texture.
Additional Uses
Massage oil: With its excellent spreadability, apricot kernel oil is a favoured choice for massage, offering a gentle, nourishing touch to the skin.
Versatile ingredient: Often incorporated into a range of cosmetic formulations, it is valued for its ability to enhance the texture and feel of natural skincare products.
Note: Individual responses may vary, and a patch test is recommended before use, especially for those with known allergies or skin sensitivities.
