Apricot kernel oil is obtained from the dried kernel of the apricot. It is considered to be a good lightweight base oil which is known to be rich in vitamins A and E as well as Oleic (C18:1) and Linoleic (C18:2) essential fatty acids.
It is a basic, mild, light oil that's easily absorbed. Suitable for mature, sensitive and oily complexions. Can be slightly drying; best mixed with more emollient oils to treat dry, itchy skin.
