Light, soothing, and protective with a soft, nutty aroma, Apricot Kernel oil has a rich oleic acid and vitamin E content, also boasting a high level of vitamin B-17. It is absorbent and lavishly moisturizing, making it the perfect candidate as an ingredient in a softening facial mask or as your massage base for a night of pampering. A lighter alternative to Sweet Almond oil, Apricot Kernel oil is non-greasy and an excellent choice for mature skin. [1, 2]
