Apricot Kernel Oil

Apricot kernel oil is rich in emollients that smooth and soften the skin. Its vitamins, essential fatty acids, and moisturizers absorb easily and deeply to where they can do the most good. It leaves no oily residue and is well tolerated by all skin types, even the most sensitive and acne-prone.

It also has a very mild smell, and a long shelf life. So, not surprisingly, it is a favorite ingredient in skin creams and lotions.

The main beauty benefits of apricot kernel oil are:

– increased clarity

– greater elasticity

– reduced fine lines

– smoother, more supple, skin

Many people find it also soothes eruptions and relieves the itchiness of eczema. And because it is so light and spreads so easily, it is often used as a massage oil, especially for facial massage.

Like all fine oils, it is best kept in glass and, ideally, out of the light.
