Apricot Kernel Oil

Apricot kernel oil, derived from the kernel within apricot pits (Prunus armeniaca), serves as an exceptional carrier base. Extracted from the fleshy soft center of the apricot stone, this oil stands out as an outstanding moisturizer. Its high Oleic acid content makes it particularly well-suited for skincare, and its lightweight nature positions it as one of the finest choices for facial care. Apricot kernel oil is not only safe for sensitive skin but also doesn’t clog pores, absorbing rapidly. Beyond facial care, its fast-absorbing and lightweight qualities make it an excellent option for massage and aromatherapy. We guarantee our customers 100% pure and fresh oil extracted using standard manufacturing methods.

Botanical Insight:

Apricot trees, robust and bearing stone fruits, have broad, round leaves with pointed apexes. The white flowers, growing sessile, exhibit five regular petals and sepals. Blossoming in early spring, the fruits ripen by the end of July and mid-August.

We produce unrefined organic Apricot Kernel oil through the cold-pressed method, extracted from the kernel within the apricot pit.
