Kamelya Apricot Kernel Oil

Description and Uses of Apricot Kernel Oil

Apricot Kernel Oil (Prunus armeniaca) is a gentle and versatile vegetable oil, traditionally used to awaken the complexion's radiance. Naturally rich in fatty acids and vitamins, it helps to provide suppleness and comfort to dry or tired skin and to promote natural luminosity without a greasy effect.

Its fluid texture, quickly absorbed, visibly softens the skin and unifies the appearance of the complexion. In hair care, it supples the lengths, smooths the ends, and leaves a silky feel, ideal for dry hair.

Skin Types

• All skin types
