Apricot Oil
Apricot kernel oil is extracted from the kernels or seeds of apricots. Making the oil is usually a several-step process. First, the fruit is collected and seeds are separated.
The shell is then removed so that the kernel can be crushed and ground before the oil can be extracted.
While apricot oil is commonly used as a carrier oil for essential oils, it can also be used on its own. With several different varieties, including conventional apricot kernel oil, organic apricot kernel oil or cold pressed apricot kernel oil, research has shown it contains several benefits, including antimicrobial and moisturizing properties.
The most common uses for apricot kernel oil include hair care, skin care and natural face treatments.
