Indulge in gentle nourishment with Apricot Kernel Natural Carrier Oil. Pressed from raw apricot kernels, this delicately light oil absorbs quickly, delivering deep, non-greasy hydration and youthful luminosity to skin, hair, and nails.

Why Choose Apricot Kernel Natural Carrier Oil?

  • Lightweight, Rapid Absorption, and Non-Comedogenic: Pale yellow and silk-smooth, apricot kernel oil penetrates deeply without clogging pores, making it ideal for all skin types—even sensitive, oily, baby, or acne-prone.

  • Boosts Elasticity, Soothes, and Hydrates: Rich in vitamins A, E, K, omega fatty acids (oleic, linoleic, alpha-linolenic), and powerful antioxidants, this oil restores the skin barrier, enhances elasticity, smooths wrinkles, and locks in hydration for all-day softness.

  • Anti-Inflammatory, Calming for Sensitive or Problematic Skin: Soothes irritation, reduces redness, relieves eczema, psoriasis, and inflammation, and is gentle enough for children and sensitive complexions.

  • Defends Against Environmental Stress & Premature Aging: Antioxidant action shields from UV, pollution, and oxidative stress, preventing fine lines, loss of firmness, and age spots.

  • Hair and Scalp Revitalization: Strengthens hair, reduces dandruff, hydrates scalp, softens brittle strands, and promotes shine—perfect for dry or color-treated hair.

  • Versatile for Massage, DIY, and Cleansing: Non-greasy glide is perfect for face/body massage, aromatherapy, oil cleansing, and as a base for serums, balms, soaps, and even baby care.

  • Reduces Appearance of Dark Circles, Puffiness, and Fine Lines: Hydrating and rejuvenating under-eye treatments and night serums benefit from this gentle oil’s smoothing touch.

How to Use Apricot Kernel Natural Carrier Oil:

  • Daily Moisturizer or Facial Oil: Massage a few drops into face and body after cleansing, blend with lighter carriers or serums as needed.

  • Under-Eye & Anti-Aging Treatment: Gently pat around the eyes or blend into serums to minimize dark circles and fine lines.

  • Hair & Scalp Mask: Work through hair or massage into scalp before shampooing for moisture and shine.

  • Makeup Remover & Cleanser: Apply as an oil cleanser to dissolve makeup and debris before rinsing.

  • Massage & Baby Oil: Use alone or blended for sensitive skin massages or as a natural baby oil.
