Apricot Kernel Oil (Organic)

Apricot Kernel Oil (Organic)

INCI Name

ORG N
Prunus armeniaca

Description

Cold pressed. Used for cooking and skin care. A semi-fatty oil that has the same properties as peach kernel oil. The oil is clear, light yellow with a slight smell and mild taste. Keeps for 2-3 years.

Skin Care

Its qualities are that it spreads well and is easily absorbed by the skin. It is absorbed quite slowly (20- 50 minutes) and is therefore excellent for use in whole body massage oil blends. It is a mild oil, which is tolerated by most people, and is especially good for sensitive, inflamed, dry or mature skin but it is a classic skin oil for sensitive skin and apricot and peach kernel oils are interchangeable for products that treat sensitive skin. It enhances skin elasticity and has a soft and smooth quality on the skin. It works well in anti-wrinkle/skin rejuvenation products for sensitive skin and in massage lotions and oils for sensitive skin as apricot kernel oil is a long oil. A drop goes a long way and so is very good for long strokes in whole body massage. Excellent addition to skin cleansers and peelers for sensitive skin.

In the kitchen

Has a mild flavour and a healthy oil to use in salad dressings. High in monounsaturated fats (omega 9) and contains no trans-fatty acids so it can be used for cooking but not for high heat cooking. It is safest to use it for salads.

Related Products

Sensitive skin

You can substitute apricot kernel oil with peach kernel oil, which has the equivalent amount of fatty acids.

Anti-Wrinkle Oil Blend for Sensitive Skin

Blend apricot kernel oil with kiwi seed and/or rosehip oil, which is drier and can be blended in face oils and serums.
