Apricot kernel oil comes from the large pits of apricots that can yield up to 45% oil. The oil is similar in weight to human sebum, making it an extremely hydrating carrier oil suitable for a variety of skin types.
Apricot Oil is light with a mild scent like marzipan and has often been used as an emollient in cleansers. Its substitutes are peach and plum oils.

- Add to any hair care product to help hydrate, support, and maintain the hair. Pair with babassu oil to create a hair-strengthening formula that boosts shine.
- This Apricot Kernel is refined in such a way that all cyanide that can occur naturally in the kernel is removed.
