Apricot Kernel Oil Cold-Pressed 100ml

Pale golden and quietly sweet, this apricot kernel carrier oil brings a soft, light glide to everyday blending. It absorbs quickly, so it suits face, body and hair rituals where you want a base oil that feels smooth rather than heavy.

Soft, light and easy to blend

• The texture is light, with a quick finish on the skin.
• Its pale to mid-yellow colour gives blends a warm, natural tone.
• The scent is very mild and sweet, so it sits gently beneath essential oils.
• Use it as a carrier for massage blends, body oils, facial oils or hair masks.
• It is a calm choice for simple, pared-back skincare mixing at home.

Apricot kernels, cold-pressed

This apricot kernel oil comes from Prunus Armeniaca, the botanical name for apricot. The oil is cold-pressed from the oil-rich kernels, a method valued because it keeps the process simple and mechanical.

How to use it in your routine

Use a small amount on its own, or blend it with essential oils at a suitable dilution for skin use. It works well where you want slip without a lingering heavy feel, such as massage, dry ends of hair, or a body oil after bathing.

For facial use, begin with a little and add more only if your skin wants it. Keep the bottle closed between uses, away from heat and direct light.

Practical notes for keeping it fresh

The stated shelf life is one year. As with most plant oils, freshness is best protected by storing it somewhere cool, dry and shaded, with the cap firmly closed.

Why choose this apricot kernel oil

Apricot kernel oil is often chosen by makers and home blenders for its gentle feel, mild aroma and easy spread. It gives essential oil blends a soft base without taking over the scent, making it useful for quiet, personal rituals: a few drops warmed between the palms, a slow shoulder massage, or a simple body oil mixed after a bath.
