Organic Apricot Kernel Oil

Apricot kernel oil is an extraordinarily versatile and skin-friendly oil. It is naturally high in Vitamin E which boosts the skin’s ability to retain elasticity and clarity by helping to protect cells from damaging free radicals (such as environmental pollutants), promoting a more radiant complexion. The oil’s natural linoleic acid (omega 6) content strengthens the skin’s barrier function and its oleic acid (omega 9) content softens skin and gives a satin-like feel and safe to use on babies.
