Apricot Kernel Oil
Industrial Applications
Apricot Kernel Oil is a natural oil extracted from the kernels of Prunus armeniaca (apricot) seeds. In cosmetics and personal care, it is valued for its light texture, high content of oleic and linoleic fatty acids, and vitamins A and E. It is commonly used in moisturizers, facial oils, body lotions, lip balms, hair conditioners, and massage oils. Apricot Kernel Oil helps to nourish and soften the skin, improve elasticity, and protect against dryness. Its mildness and non-greasy feel make it suitable for sensitive and delicate skin formulations. Additionally, Apricot Kernel Oil is available in Organic, Kosher, Halal, Food, and Cosmetic grades, making it suitable for diverse applications. The Organic grade supports natural and eco-conscious formulations, while Kosher and Halal grades ensure compliance with dietary and cultural standards.
Physical Properties
Apricot Kernel Oil is a pale yellow to light orange liquid with a mild, nutty aroma. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents and oils. The oil is emollient, easily absorbed by the skin, and chemically stable under normal conditions, though prolonged exposure to heat, light, or air may cause oxidation.
