I used to buy apricot kernel oil at a local store before launching my product line, but came here for it when I needed a larger volume. Boy was I surprised!
Apparently, the oil I was purchasing previously from the other guy WAS RANCID.
When I was lucky enough to stumble upon this oil here, I bought some and quickly learned that this oil has little to no scent, glides on well and works wonders in lotion applications. The other guys' oil was sticky when applied AND it used to give me problems; batches of lotion would get thrown out! Turns out, it's more affordable here, ounce for ounce, and the quality is consistent. Thanks!

I use this oil in some of my face oil recipes that are for sensitive skin. Mostly for oily skin types. I have found that although a great moisturizer for most skin types, when I use it as a base before make up, my eye makeup doesn't stay put. I would use it more as an evening, before bed moisturizer.

From using, this oil absorbs easily. It works to soften, soothe and relief dryness and scales from the skin and best of all it is light and non-greasy. It even moisturizes, heals and protects mature and/or sensitive skin. Interesting fact I found out: historically, apricot oils and kernels have been used in traditional medicine to treat tumors.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS OIL. I DIDN'T REALLY KNOW HOW THIS OIL WORKED OR WHAT IT WAS FOR WHEN I GOT IT, BUT THIS WORKS PERFECT FOR MY SCALP IT KEEPS ME FROM GETTING DANDRUFF AND IT DOESN'T IRRITATE MY SCALP OR CAUSE MY HAIR TO FEEL WEIGHED DOWN. TO MY SUPRISE IT'S A LIGHT OIL BUT ITS VERY MOISTURIZING.

I love this oil. It's so light, yet deeply penetrating. I usually add this oil to Camden's Grapeseed oil at about 30% it's a great combination for my dry skin when I put it in my lotion (Goats Milk lotion base- from Camden of course)!

Apricot oil is a wonderful oil to add to your skin care ingredients. It is one of the few oils my 89 year old mother can use without issues. It soothes, moistens and softens like no other! She rants and raves each time she receives her box of soaps and lotions.
