apricot kernel

Pressed from the kernel of Apricots, Apricot Kernel Oil (also known as Apricot Seed Oil) has long been valued for its potent skin-nurturing properties and its lightweight texture. Rich in beneficial enzymes, anti-ageing antioxidants – most notably Vitamins A, C and E - and essential fatty acids including oleic and linoleic acids, this multi-benefit emollient oil critically supports skin’s natural barrier, helps to lock in moisture, assists in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and helps protect skin against damaging and ageing environmental stressors like pollution and UV exposure. Together, these many elements of Apricot Seed Oil offer a range of benefits for maintaining soft, hydrated, and resilient skin. Comfortably light in consistency, Apricot Oil Skincare leaves the skin feeling soft and moisturised without a greasy residue. Being both nutrient rich and quickly absorbed, Apricot Kernel Oil is also commonly used as a carrier oil in aromatherapy skincare and self-care. Used alone or blended with other oils, Apricot Kernel Oil offers a wonderful, plant-based approach to gentle yet effective skin nourishment.  read less
