Apricot Kernel Oil Benefits

The sweet and slightly tart apricot has traditionally been consumed in its raw fruit form and used in various culinary applications. Whether fresh or dried, apricots can liven up sweet and savoury dishes and drinks. But did you know that the oil-rich kernels of apricots yield apricot oil that boasts an enviable nutritional profile? Indeed, apricot oil includes vitamins A, C, and E, all the B vitamins, numerous essential minerals, plus beta-sitosterol, retinol, lutein, zeaxanthin, and lycopene, making it a potent natural antioxidant. 

It is said that apricot kernel seed oil was historically used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to treat swelling, ulcers, tumours, and other malignant growths. Apricot kernel seed oil continues to be used today in many skin, hair, and nail care applications thanks to its powerful softening, hydrating, rejuvenating, and nourishing properties.

Indeed, apricot kernel seed oil makes an excellent base oil for the face. It also makes a great body oil for babies and children and is especially well-suited as a carrier oil for essential oils in aromatherapy. It can be added to face and body creams, lotions, DIY lip balms, hair and nail care, and soaps.

Benefits Of Apricot Kernal Seed Oil

Common Uses For Apricot Oil

This oil is suited to all skin types and is easily absorbed into the skin. It is light and gentle; therefore, is an ideal choice for anyone looking to hydrate and protect the skin against free radical damage and to improve skin tone and texture. In addition, because of its high concentration of gamma linoleic acid, apricot kernel seed oil is also perfect for helping speed wound healing and improving the look of wrinkles, fine lines, scars, and hyperpigmentation. Apricot kernel seed oil is often recommended to help slow and even reverse the visible signs of aging. Last but certainly not least, apricot kernel seed oil's combination of oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids makes it ideal for preventing and reducing the severity of acne. 

Final Thoughts

Apricot kernel seed oil has a shelf life of approximately 2 years with proper storage. Cold-pressed oils should ideally be kept in a cool, dark place to maintain freshness and optimize shelf life. Refrigerating can extend shelf-life further. If refrigerated, bring to room temperature before using.
