Frequently asked questions
What is refined apricot kernel oil?
It is the oil pressed from the kernels of the apricot, Prunus armeniaca, and then refined (INCI: Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil). Refining gives a pale, light oil with very little odour that absorbs readily, so it is a popular carrier and massage oil.
How does apricot kernel oil compare with sweet almond oil?
They feel very similar: light, smooth and easily absorbed, with good slip. Apricot kernel oil is often chosen for face oils and as a like-for-like alternative to almond oil in carrier and massage blends.
Where does it come from and can it be used in food?
It is of Spanish origin. Yes, it is suitable for food use, subject to the usual formulation considerations.
What pack sizes are available?
From 1kg up to 25kg, all priced online. For regular volumes, ask us for a bulk quote.
