Plum kernel oil, certified organic

Organic, cold‑pressed plum kernel oil is derived from the kernels of plums and is certified organic, ensuring it meets rigorous standards for quality and sustainability. Traditionally used in natural beauty routines, this oil is valued for its light texture and nutrient‑rich profile, making it a popular choice for those creating their own DIY skincare and haircare formulations.

Benefits of Organic Cold‑Pressed Plum Kernel Oil

Skincare Uses

Lightweight and easily absorbed: Plum kernel oil is often used in skincare products for its light, non‑greasy texture that penetrates quickly without leaving a residue.

Nourishing and moisturising: Rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins, it is said to help nourish and moisturise the skin, contributing to a smooth, supple appearance.

Skin softening: Regular inclusion in formulations is believed to support a soft and refined skin texture.

Haircare Uses

Enhances hair manageability: Frequently incorporated into haircare recipes, plum kernel oil is appreciated for its ability to condition hair, leaving it soft and naturally shiny.

Scalp care: Its gentle nature makes it a favoured ingredient in DIY hair treatments aimed at maintaining a balanced scalp.

Additional Uses

Versatile cosmetic ingredient: With its mild profile and nutrient‑rich composition, plum kernel oil is a popular addition to various DIY cosmetic formulations, including creams, lotions, serums, and hair masks.

Note: Individual responses may vary, and a patch test is recommended before use, especially for those with known stone fruit allergies or skin sensitivities.
