Apricot Kernel Oil
Apricot Kernel Oil
Apricot Kernel Oil (Cold-Pressed Facial & Massage Carrier Oil)
Apricot Kernel Oil is a light, fast-absorbing carrier oil well suited to massage, skincare and beauty treatments. Its fine texture and gentle, non-greasy feel make it especially popular for facial and décolletage massage, where a lighter oil is preferred.
The oil is predominantly made up of oleic and linoleic fatty acids, along with natural vitamins A and E, which help support the skin's moisture balance and leave it feeling soft, firm and nourished.
Apricot Kernel Oil closely resembles Sweet Almond Oil in texture and performance, and is popular with those looking to avoid tree nut oils. That said, because apricot and almond kernels are botanically related (both from the Prunus genus), anyone with a tree nut or stone-fruit-kernel allergy should still patch test carefully, or check with a healthcare professional, before use.
Botanical Name: Prunus armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil.
Safety information: As with any plant-derived carrier oil, a small proportion of people may experience sensitivity, and this oil carries a specific cross-reactivity note for tree nut/stone-fruit-kernel allergies (see above). A patch test is recommended before first use — see the Ingredient & Allergen Statement in the Product Documents section below for full detail.
