Description
Apricot kernel oil is extracted through the cold expression of the kernels (fruit) of the apricot tree; oils obtained through cold expression are the finest of carrier oils because they maintain similar (if not nearly all) of the properties of the plant in its natural state. For this reason, cold pressed carrier oils are usually more expensive than refined oils. Apricot kernel carrier oil is of great value for giving a face massage. The oil is extracted from Apricot, the botanical name of which is Prunus armeniaca. It is easily absorbed by the skin and the best part is that it doesn't lend any kind of oily feel to the skin. Rich in poly-unsaturated fatty acids, its application works wonders in nourishing the skin. It is usually colorless, but, at times, has a tinge of yellow.
