Apricot kernel oil–also known as apricot seed oil–is a light, amber colored oil made by cold-processing the pit of apricot fruits. Apricot Kernel oil is an excellent replacement for almond oil, if you are trying to stay clear of traditional nut oils. Apricot kernel oil is a natural source of vitamins E and K, and rich in natural anti-oxidants. Shay and Company is proud to be your premium apricot kernel oil supplier.

Apricot kernel oil is a highly moisturizing oil. It can be added to skin and hair treatments to increase moisture and help to repair damage. Think of adding apricot kernel oil to your next shampoo bar (using our melt-and-pour soaps, of course), hair oil, hair mask, face lotion, cuticle oil, or body butter. Products using apricot kernel oil are ideal for use on skin conditions such as eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis. For hair care products, apricot kernel oil has been said to help strengthen weak hair and promote a healthier scalp, leading to increased growth.
