Heirloom's Apricot kernel is rich in essential fatty acids to help skin retain moisture and sustain elasticity in the skin. With copious amounts of Vitamin A, this oil is a match made in "skin care" heaven for mature or dry, irritated skin. Apricot kernel oil is cold pressed from the seed of the apricot to ensure the chemical compounds are not altered. It is a lightweight offering easy absorption without a greasy feel, making Apricot Kernel Oil perfect for massage therapy as well as soap making. The oil provides luxurious conditioning when used in soap with a usage range from 7-12%.
Apricot Kernel Oil is powerful yet gentle and is often blended with natural cosmetics and skin care products such as masks, exfoliators, and moisturisers for maximised anti ageing benefits, and skin protection.

Beautiful texture and feel
I only use natural oils and butters on my skin due to sensitivity issues and this is a great addition to my range. Feels great, absorbs well without any greasy residue and makes skin feel really soft. I get dermatitis from time to time and this helps smooth things out.
