Description: Apricot kernel oil, derived from the kernels of apricots, is believed to offer various potential benefits for skincare.
- Moisturisation: Apricot oil is thought to be a good moisturiser for the skin, helping to keep it hydrated and soft.
- Nourishment: It may provide essential nutrients to the skin, promoting a healthy and radiant complexion.
- Lightweight: Apricot oil is typically lightweight and easily absorbed, making it suitable for various skin types, including oily and combination skin.
