Organic Apricot Kernel Oil has a light texture and so is useful to use on hands, face and hair. It is especially beneficial for dry, mature or sensitive skin.

Particularly suitable for nourishing the skin because of its high content of A, B & E vitamins. Vitamin E is one of the most powerful natural antioxidants and helps to combat free radicals. Extracted from the soft fleshy centre of the apricot stone, this oil is an excellent moisturiser and carrier base. The high content of oleic acid gives apricot great affinity with the skin, which means that it is easily absorbed, making it an excellent moisturiser and carrier oil. Apricot Kernel oil is excellent for skin protection, since it is both emollient and nourishing. It is beneficial in relieving the itchiness caused by eczema and is most suitable for sensitive skin, dry and aging skins.

The origin of the Apricot tree is unclear. Some claim it's native to Armenia, others say China or India. Now found worldwide in countries with a suitable climate
Apricot Kernel is perfect for use with any essential oil which is suitable for use on the skin. Dilution rates vary from oil to oil so you should always check the guidelines for each oil before use. Additionally it may be included in blends with other more expensive carrier or vegetable oils to lessen the cost of using them.

Most carrier oils are simply used for lubrication but a few have therapeutic properties of their own which can be chosen to complement those of the essential oils used with them For example peach kernel apricot kernel and particularly avocado oil are all rich and nourishing and help dry and ageing skins
