Question 1

What is apricot kernel carrier oil used for?

Accepted Answer

Apricot kernel oil is a light, quickly absorbing carrier oil that serves as the base for handmade cosmetics — creams, body oils, serums — and as a dilution medium for essential oils in aromatherapy. Essential oils applied directly to the skin always need to be diluted, and apricot kernel oil is one of the most commonly chosen carrier oils for this purpose because of its fine, neutral composition.

Question 2

Does it contain additives or preservatives?

Accepted Answer

Apricot kernel oil is a 100% natural cold-pressed or refined oil, which on its own does not contain additives or synthetic preservatives. Like any natural oil, it can oxidise over time, so store it in a dark, cool place and use within 6-12 months after opening. If the oil develops an unpleasant odour, that is a sign of oxidation.

Question 3

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Accepted Answer

Apricot kernel oil is one of the gentlest carrier oils, so it is particularly recommended for sensitive and dry skin and for formulas intended for children's skin. Still, before using larger amounts on a given skin area, it is worth doing a small test: place a small amount on the inside of your forearm and observe for 24 hours for any skin reaction.
