Apricot kernel oil is an oil extracted from the seeds of the apricot fruit and has been used throughout history for both nutritional and health purposes. The apricot has been a well-known fruit in Asia, the Middle East and Europe since ancient times.

The oil from the apricot seeds has traditionally been used in skin and hair care, especially in natural beauty products. In modern times, apricot kernel oil has become a popular product in the cosmetic and personal care industry.

Production: Apricot kernel oil is obtained by cold pressing. Cold pressing preserves the natural nutrients and effective components of the oil, ensuring a high quality product. This method preserves the rich nutritional properties and stability of the oil. In the production of the oil, the ripe seeds of the apricot fruit are used. These seeds provide the characteristic light and sweet smell of the oil.

Color, Aroma and Fragrance: Apricot kernel oil is usually light yellow to dark orange in color, with a light, sweet and fruity fragrance profile. This scent creates an effect that is both relaxing and natural. Apricot kernel oil is often used as a carrier oil and the fragrance note has a light, sweet and fruity profile. Its aroma strength is low, making it ideal for mixing with other oils and using in various formulations.

Storage: It is recommended that carrier oils obtained by cold pressing be stored in a cool, dark place to preserve freshness and achieve maximum shelf life. If stored in the refrigerator, bring to room temperature before use.
