What is Apricot Kernel Oil (Organic & Cold-pressed)?

Apricot Kernel Oil is a wonderfully light, gentle oil that penetrates deep into the skin. The oil is suitable for dry or mature skin that could use some extra protection and hydration.

This Apricot Kernel Oil is cold-pressed from the kernels of organic apricots (Prunus Armeniaca). Cold pressing ensures that the nutrients in the oil are preserved and you benefit as much as possible from them when using the oil.

Benefits

Anti-aging & soothing

Apricot Kernel Oil is comparable to the natural oil layer that your skin produces itself. The oil strengthens the skin and gives you a natural glow, while making fine lines and signs of skin aging less visible. Apricot Kernel Oil contains a good dose of vitamin C and E and unsaturated fatty acids (omega 6 and 9). Omega 6 (linoleic acid) strengthens the skin barrier and omega 9 (oleic acid) gives you silky smooth skin. Golden tip: incorporate Apricot Kernel Oil in your DIY lip balm or lip gloss for silky soft lips!

Hydrates the skin

Apricot Kernel Oil is bursting with vitamin A, which hydrates the skin quickly, deeply and long-lastingly. The unsaturated fatty acids in the oil lubricate the skin and keep it soft and supple. Apricot Kernel Oil is therefore ideal for dry and mature skin that could use some extra care and protection.

Prevents hair loss

Apricot Kernel Oil contains lots of Vitamin E and K that help nourish, strengthen and hydrate the hair follicles. This ensures a healthy head of hair and scalp and can help prevent hair loss.

How do you use it?

Use Apricot Kernel Oil directly on your skin or in your hair, or incorporate the oil into your DIY care products. Thanks to the neutral scent and color of the oil, it combines beautifully with essential oils and other ingredients.

Use as moisturizer

Cleanse your face and then massage a few drops of Apricot Kernel Oil into your skin for deep hydration, morning and/or evening. The rest of your body also enjoys this oil: apply it all over after showering.

Easy hair mask

Massage a little Apricot Kernel Oil into your hair and scalp and let it absorb for a few hours or overnight. Then wash your hair as you normally do. For a quicker treatment, massage your hair and scalp with the oil in the shower and wash it out immediately afterwards.

Natural makeup remover

Apricot Kernel Oil is a beautiful natural makeup remover because the oil is so light and has a neutral scent. Put a few drops of Apricot Kernel Oil on a Make-Up Pad or Face Wipe and remove your makeup with gentle movements.

Apricot Kernel Oil has a shelf life of approximately one year after opening. Don't use the oil that often? Store it in the refrigerator, then it will last a bit longer.

What is so special about it?

Apricot Kernel Oil penetrates deep into the skin and absorbs quickly. This ensures that the skin is hydrated and nourished for a long time. The oil softens the skin and slows down the aging process, while making signs of skin aging less visible.
