Apricot Kernel Oil

Apricot Kernel Oil is a soft, light, gentle oil with barely any scent — a close cousin to sweet almond, and a lovely choice for anyone wanting something kind and easily absorbed.

INCI: Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil

Wonderful for: softening, regenerating and moisturising, with gentle anti-inflammatory qualities. Its linoleic acid supports the skin barrier and helps with dry, itchy skin — a real comfort to sensitive and mature skin.

What to make with it: interchangeable with sweet almond in most recipes — beautiful in bath and body oils, facial oils, creams, balms and lotions.

Good to know:

• Absorption: light, and sinks in well
• A similar fatty-acid profile to sweet almond (high in oleic and linoleic acids)
• Little to no scent
