Apricot Kernel Oil

APRICOT KERNEL OIL | ALL YOU NEED IS OIL

What is Apricot Kernel Oil?

Apricot oil, or apricot kernel oil, is extracted from the seeds of apricots. When pressed, these seeds release a light-weight oil that is known for its vitamin packed content and its ability to soothe and nourish the skin.

Why Should I be Using Apricot Kernel Oil?

Apricot kernel oil’s widespread popularity comes down to the fact that it has a similar lipid content to that of your skin. When lipids (fatty acids) found in the skin are depleted, this can make the skin prone to infection, water loss, dehydration and dryness. Using apricot oil regularly can help to balance this lipid depletion as it reinforces the skins natural barrier, helping to soothe and nourish damaged skin whilst restoring hydration levels.

Additionally, apricot oil is favoured because its fine, light-weight texture allows it to be quickly and easily absorbed by the skin. This means that it leaves little or no greasy residue once applied – making it ideal for oily skin types who don’t want to add to the shine. For those of you with sensitive skin, apricot oil’s fineness also means it less likely to cause irritation as the skin can easily absorb it.
