Apothecary In Inglewood Apricot Kernel Carrier Oil

Light and gentle, apricot kernel oil glides onto the surface of the skin and is rich in nourishing and soothing properties. Extracted from the heart of the fruit, apricot kernel oil is cold pressed from 100% pure apricot kernels and gently refined. It is a light, emollient, non-greasy oil that contains high levels of unsaturated fatty acids. It is similar in feel and properties to sweet almond oil and is readily absorbed into the skin.

Apricot kernel oil is recommended for mature, dry, sensitive skin and skin that is inflamed. Its combination of oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids helps relieve and prevent acne. It makes a wonderful body oil for babies and children, and is especially beneficial in skin care and facial massage. Use in face and body creams, lotions, balms, lip care, hair care and soaps.
