Apricot Kernel Oil

Apricot kernel oil is a gentle, light-textured oil cold-pressed from the kernels of Prunus armeniaca (Apricot fruit). Known for its exceptional skin absorption and mild nature, Apricot oil is ideal for dry, sensitive, and mature skin types. Rich in essential fatty acids, oleic and linoleic, as well as vitamins A, E, and K, Apricot kernel oil offers intensive hydration and supports skin repair without leaving a greasy residue.

Key Benefits of Apricot Oil:

• Deep Moisturisation: Quickly penetrates the skin to hydrate and nourish dry, flaky, and irritated skin.

• Soothes Skin Conditions: Helps calm inflamed or sensitive skin and reduce symptoms of eczema and psoriasis, including redness and itchiness.

• Dark Circle Reduction: The vitamin K content supports microcirculation and may help reduce under-eye dark circles.

• After-Sun Care: With vitamins A and E, Apricot oil aids in skin recovery and soothes sun-damaged skin.

• Anti-Ageing Support: Apricot kernel oil enhances skin elasticity and helps smooth fine lines, making it excellent for mature skin.
