This premium oil from Ancient Wisdom offers a sophisticated experience for anyone interested in natural beauty and aromatherapy. Known scientifically as Prunus Armeniaca, this oil is sourced from Spain and produced using a cold-pressed extraction method to maintain its natural integrity.

It serves as a reliable base oil for diluting potent essential oils before topical application, ensuring a smooth and even spread. Its history in Europe dates back to the Roman era, and it remains a staple in modern self-care for its ability to soothe dry or itchy areas. Whether used as a standalone facial oil, a nourishing scalp treatment, or a component in a larger gifting set for skincare enthusiasts, this product fits seamlessly into a mindful wellness lifestyle.

• Cold-pressed extraction from Spanish apricot kernels ensures a high-quality oil

How to Use This Product

To use Apricot Kernel Oil – 50ml for skincare, apply two to three drops onto clean, slightly damp skin and press in gently until absorbed. For aromatherapy, use this as a carrier oil by mixing a few drops of your preferred essential oil into a small amount of the apricot oil before massaging onto the skin. It can also be smoothed through the ends of hair to add shine and reduce frizz, or applied directly to dry patches on the body for targeted hydration.
