What is Apricot Kernel Oil (Organic & Cold-Pressed)?
Apricot kernel oil is a wonderfully light, soft oil that penetrates deeply 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, allowing you to benefit as much as possible from its use.
Benefits
Anti-aging & soothing
Apricot kernel oil is similar to the natural oil layer your skin produces itself. The oil firms the skin and gives you a natural glow, while reducing the appearance of fine lines and signs of skin aging. Apricot kernel oil contains a good dose of vitamins 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 skin. Golden tip: incorporate Apricot Kernel Oil into your DIY lip balm or lip gloss for silky soft lips!
Hydrates the skin
Apricot kernel oil is bursting with vitamin A, which quickly, deeply, and lastingly hydrates the skin. 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 extra care and protection.
Prevents hair loss
Apricot kernel oil contains a lot of Vitamin E and K which help to nourish, strengthen and hydrate hair follicles. This ensures healthy hair and scalp and can help prevent hair loss.
How to use it?
Use Apricot Kernel Oil directly on your skin or hair, or incorporate the oil into your DIY care products. Thanks to its neutral scent and color, it combines beautifully with essential oils and other ingredients.
Use as a moisturizer
Cleanse your face and then massage a few drops of Apricot Kernel Oil into your skin for deep hydration, in the morning and/or evening. The rest of your body will also enjoy this oil: apply it generously after showering.
Easy hair mask
Massage a little Apricot Kernel Oil into your hair and scalp and leave it in for a few hours or overnight. Then wash your hair as you normally would. For a quicker treatment, massage your hair and scalp with the oil in the shower and then wash it out immediately.
Natural make-up remover
Apricot kernel oil is a wonderful natural make-up 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 make-up with gentle movements.
Apricot kernel oil can be kept for approximately one year after opening. If you don't use the oil very often, store it in the refrigerator to extend its shelf life a little longer.
What's so special about it?
Apricot kernel oil penetrates deeply into the skin and is quickly absorbed. 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.
