Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil is a non-volatile, non-fragrant plant oil extracted from apricot kernels. It contains oleic and linoleic acids, as well as vitamins A, C, and E. It has moisturizing, skin-restoring, and anti-aging properties. It is also a good source of antioxidants, which help protect the skin from free radical damage. It is a rich emollient plant oil extracted from apricots and contains high levels of antioxidants and fatty acids.
Anti-Aging: Apricot kernel oil contains antioxidants that help protect the skin from free radical damage, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Hydration: The oil's fatty acids help improve skin's ceramides, which play a vital role in maintaining skin's barrier, resulting in improved hydration. Softening: Apricot kernel oil is a good emollient, meaning it helps to soften and smooth the skin. Healing: Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, it provides rapid healing for chapped, dry skin, blemishes, or areas of flaking skin. Sebum Regulation: The oil can mimic the natural sebum in the skin and treats blemish-prone skin without causing imbalance to the sebum production. Hair Growth: Apricot kernel oil can detangle and nourish the hair strands, thereby promoting hair growth. Exfoliation: Apricot kernel oil helps to exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and promoting cell turnover.
