Apricot kernel oil is lightweight and high in linoleic and oleic acids. It’s conditioning and easily absorbed into the skin. It produces small bubbles. We recommend using at 15% or less in your recipe. That way the bars aren’t too soft and they last longer in the shower.

Apricot kernel oil offers softening, regenerating, and moisturising properties, as well as some anti-inflammatory properties, thanks to the oleic acid. The linoleic acid offers support to barrier repair and can help with dry, itchy skin, light and easily absorbed, and high in essential fatty acids. Perfect for the face, neck and eye area and has has little to no scent.

Apricot kernel oil is similar to sweet almond oil, and the two are interchangeable in bath and body care products.
