Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil

Apricot Oil is obtained from the kernel of the fruit, and is a good source of vitamins A and E. In addition, it contains essential fatty acids and is excellent for moisturizing and nourishing mature, dry and sensitive skin. It is also one of the most powerful antioxidants. Among its properties there are elasticising, emollient and protective ones. It is especially recommended for those who suffer from dry skin, as it stimulates the production of sebum, which is essential for the health of the epidermis. It can also be used as a natural anti-wrinkle, deeply hydrating the skin and fighting free radicals, preventing the natural signs of aging. The protective action of apricot oil makes it particularly suitable for those with sensitive skin, or for those suffering from couperose or capillary fragility. It is a screen against climatic factors, but also against pollution and bacteria that attack the skin of the face every day. Because it is easily absorbed, it is a good choice for making facial skin care creams, and also as a base for massage oil blends and bath oils. Very emollient and nourishing, it is excellent in the treatment of stretch marks, because it promotes the elasticity of the skin, and applied as a compress on the hair, it makes dull, brittle and worn hair shiny and soft.
