Apricot Kernel Oil is made from cold-pressing apricot seeds from the Apricot plant (Prunus armeniaca) to extract the oil from the kernels. The average oil content in the kernels is between 40 to 50%, producing a yellow coloured oil that mildly smells like Apricot. The more refined the oil is, the lighter the aroma and colour the oil will be.
Across hair and skincare, Apricot Kernel Oil is highly esteemed for its emollient, cleansing and anti-inflammatory properties that have been seen to soften, protect, soothe and repair the skin and hair. It is one of the most versatile and effective carrier oils, is suitable across all skin types and is the perfect base for diluting any of your favourite essential oils.
