Organic Virgin Apricot Kernel Oil

Apricots, with a scientific name referring to the species as the "Armenian Apple", have a long history in Persia and Central Asia.  They are then introduced to the Greeks and to Europe and spread to English colonies in the new world.  Apricots are now grown in most parts of the world with relatively dry climate.  Apricot Kernel Oil is derived from the kernel of the apricot pit, and the oil is similar to almond oil and peach oil, where the oil is derived from the pit of the fruit, and used for cosmetic purposes.

Apricot Kernel Oil is a rich and nourishing oil suitable for normal to dry skin types.  It has high content of oleic acid, which are non-essential fatty acids that are needed to keep dry and sensitive skin moisturized.  It contains Vitamin A, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin E to nourish and moisturize the skin and to keep the skin soft and supple.
