ESCENTIA - Apricot Kernel Refined Oil - 500ml

Escentia Apricot Kernel Refined Oil is a lightweight, versatile carrier oil prized for its gentle texture and excellent skin compatibility. Cold-pressed from the kernels of Prunus armeniaca and then refined for consistency and extended shelf life, this 500ml bottle offers exceptional value for therapists, formulators, and anyone who uses carrier oils regularly.

Apricot kernel oil is naturally rich in oleic and linoleic fatty acids, along with vitamins A and E. These nutrients contribute to its reputation as a deeply nourishing yet non-greasy oil that absorbs readily into the skin. Its mild, almost neutral scent makes it an ideal base for blending with essential oils in aromatherapy massage, as it won't compete with or alter the aromatic profile of your chosen essential oils.

The refined nature of this oil means it has been processed to remove impurities, resulting in a lighter colour, longer shelf life, and more consistent performance compared to unrefined alternatives. This makes it particularly well-suited to professional settings where reliability and uniformity are important.

Commonly used in massage therapy, apricot kernel oil provides excellent glide without leaving a heavy residue. It is also a popular ingredient in homemade skincare preparations such as body lotions, facial serums, and bath oils. Its gentle composition makes it suitable for sensitive and mature skin types alike.

This generous 500ml size is ideal for regular use in a home or professional practice, reducing the need for frequent repurchasing. Store in a cool, dark place to maintain freshness and quality throughout use.
