    Apricot Kernel Oil: (Armeniaca vulgaris, Prunis armeniaca) Apricot Kernel is a light but rich oil which is especially good for sensitive skin, as well as for and skin that is inflamed or dry. It can be used alone or in massage and is used quite often in lip balms and creams. It is particularly helpful for dehydrated, delicate, mature or sensitive skin.

    This oil has a high vitamin A content. For soapmaking, one should use one or two ounces for every pound of fat. It is normally used at 15%-50% strength, although it may be used full strength. SAP value: 190.0. INCI: Prunis armeniaca (Apricot) kernel oil. Shelf life: 9 months to 1 year when stored tightly sealed in a cool place away from heat and direct light.

    This oil is food grade, cold pressed and refined; however, Camden-Grey sells its products only for external use. It is the customer’s responsibility to understand the information contained in a product’s MSDS and to become familiar and well versed in how each product should be used, including a product’s precautions, if any. MSDS’s are posted on our site, look for the MSDS link at the top, right, of all our pages.

    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!
    Removes makeup almost too well

    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.
    Great

    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.
    So light on the skin

    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.
    This is my favorite!!

    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)!
    This oil is WONDERFUL!!!

    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.

    CofA: Download

    Thanks for browsing thru this section which contains answers to many questions that are often asked of us. Here we explain where to locate CofA and SDS for a product, how we dispense and package our products, how products should be stored, basic terminology and the wait time for bulk products to ship from our warehouse. FYI: We're closed on Fridays.

    Certificate of Analysis (CofA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS). We publish on our website those documents for most of our products, some products don't provide either because the product doesn't require it. In this same section where you're at now, look to the tab to the left titled Documents, click on it and that's where you'll find either document for the product you seek. If you do not find the document you require, please email us at customerservice@camdengrey.com so we can research further.

    BULK ITEMS: When a customer adds a bulk item to the cart, the customer’s immediately shown on the screen how many number of days should be allowed for the bulk product to arrive at our warehouse. If the bulk item happens to be in stock, we’ll ship sooner than the customer would expect. As we emerge from Covid, logistics operations are not yet back to normal, what used to arrive at our warehouse in 3 days now takes much longer. Should a vendor inform us the ordered product will take longer than what’s mentioned on our website we’ll email the customer with the latest information.

    TERMINOLOGY:

    EO = essential oil

    FO = fragrance oil

    HOW PRODUCTS ARE DISPENSED...

    BOTTLING/PACKAGING:

    Essential oils: in 1/32 oz. to 1/4 oz...amber glass vials with orifice reducers. ½ oz. to 2 oz...in amber glass bottles with white caps and Eurodroppers...3 to 4 oz. in amber glass bottles with black caps and without orifice reducers...7 oz. in aluminum bottles...15 oz. in amber glass bottles with black caps...10 & 25 lbs. in HDPE plastic containers with wide mouths although, occasionally, 25 lbs. may be dispensed in factory-issued metal containers with pouring spouts.

    28 lbs. of carrier oils and other liquids are dispensed in individual HDPE plastic gallon containers with handles, each holds the purchased net weight of liquid.

    30+ lbs. of carrier oils, other liquids, soft butters, Castile gel and other products are dispensed in plastic HDPE pails w/metal handles & pouring spouts in the lid; those products may remain inside the pails indefinitely when properly stored. After Covid, we reserve the right to use any packaging/dispensing container available to us and not mentioned above because it continues to be difficult many times to restock the same packaging container or material used in the past.

    NOTE: An EO may safely remain inside an aluminum container for up to 3 months, but if storing longer than 3 months the oil should be transferred to amber glass. Fragrances and carrier oils up to 8 lbs. may remain inside HDPE plastic bottles indefinitely. If the customer at any time feels more comfortable transferring a product to glass this should be done. ALL PRODUCTS ARE DISPENSED BY WEIGHT, THUS, SOME CONTAINERS MAY BE FILLED HIGHER THAN OTHERS DEPENDING ON THE WEIGHT AND VISCOSITY OF EACH PRODUCT.

    Raw materials/ingredients are dispensed by weight. Many customers ask how many ounces in a pound, there are 16 ounces in one pound. These are not fluid ounces, they are ounces by weight.

    HOW TO STORE: EOs, FOs and BUTTERS should be stored in tightly-sealed containers away from direct light and heat. Some EOs could be highly flammable, keep away from open flames. Keep all liquids and powders you purchase from Camden-Grey tightly capped and away from the reach of children, the elderly or infirm and pets. Refrigerating butters could adversely affect the consistency of the butter, please join our Forum if you need to learn how to handle, work with and store products.
