Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil

What is Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil?

Apricot kernel oil is like the perfect middle ground in skincare—not too heavy, not too light, but just right for most skin types. Pressed from the kernels of apricot fruit, it delivers a balance of oleic and linoleic acids that mirrors the versatility of the fruit itself. Think of it as the Goldilocks of facial oils—light enough to absorb quickly yet rich enough to nourish effectively. It's the skincare equivalent of a perfectly ripe apricot, offering just the right balance of vitamins A and E to brighten and soften without overwhelming. For combination or sensitive skin unsure about facial oils, apricot kernel oil is that approachable first step into the world of natural nourishment.
