Cherry kernel oil, certified organic
Organic, cold-pressed cherry kernel oil is derived from the seeds of Prunus avium, the sweet cherry tree. Cherries have been cultivated for thousands of years, originally native to Europe and Western Asia, with their kernels traditionally valued for their lightweight, nourishing oil. The oil is extracted through cold pressing, a method that preserves its natural composition without the use of heat or solvents. Naturally rich in antioxidants, alpha, delta, and gamma tocopherols, as well as vitamins A and E, cherry kernel oil is highly stable and widely used in skincare, haircare, and soapmaking.
