What is Apricot Kernel Oil?

Apricot Kernel Oil is a gentle, nutrient-rich oil cold-pressed from the soft inner kernel of the apricot fruit (Prunus armeniaca). Naturally rich in vitamins A, C, and E, it’s known for its ability to deeply nourish and soften without feeling greasy — making it a perfect ingredient for lip care.

Where does Apricot Kernel Oil come from?

Apricot trees are native to central and southwest Asia, but today they’re cultivated in many regions across the world. The oil is extracted from the kernels (the small seeds inside the stone) of ripe apricots, producing a light golden oil prized for its smooth texture and moisturising properties.

What does Apricot Kernel Oil do in skincare?

Apricot Kernel Oil offers multiple benefits, especially for delicate skin and lips:

• Deeply moisturising – hydrates and softens dry or chapped lips.
• Vitamin-rich – provides natural nourishment with vitamins A and E to support skin health.
• Light and gentle – easily absorbed, leaving lips smooth without a heavy residue.
• Protective – helps lock in moisture and shield against environmental dryness.
