Apricot Kernel Oil

Apricot Kernel Oil for Facial Care, Massage and Hair

Apricot Kernel Oil from Australian Oils Of Nature is a lightweight, silky carrier oil cold-pressed from the kernels of Prunus armeniaca. This unrefined oil absorbs readily, helping skin feel soft, smooth and nourished without a heavy, greasy finish.

A delicate oil with a silky feel

Pale yellow with a very mild, faintly nutty aroma, Apricot Kernel Oil is an understated base for everyday skincare blends. Its light texture suits formulations where softness and easy absorption matter more than a pronounced scent. The existing product information describes it as 100% natural and rich in vitamins A and E, oleic acid and essential fatty acids.

Imagine finishing your routine with a facial oil that leaves skin feeling comfortable rather than weighed down, or creating a massage blend with a gentle, silky texture. Apricot Kernel Oil offers a versatile starting point for both.

Skin and hair conditioning

Use as a base for facial oils and light serums designed to soften dry or rough-feeling skin and support a smooth, supple appearance. It is also used in formulas for sensitive or mature skin, with suitability determined by the complete formulation and individual patch testing. For haircare, its light conditioning feel can help nourish the lengths without excessive heaviness.

Blending and application ideas

Explore combinations with Jojoba, Sweet Almond, Rosehip, Argan or Squalane. The existing blending suggestions also include Lavender, Geranium, Frankincense and Chamomile essential oils; follow appropriate safety guidance and product-specific dilution instructions before adding essential oils.

Other formulation ideas include massage oils, aromatherapy carrier bases, body oils, lotions, emulsions and scalp-conditioning blends. Baby-care formulations require age-appropriate professional formulation and safety assessment rather than assuming a carrier oil is suitable for every infant.
