Apricot Kernel Oil is used in the cosmetic industry in many skin care products. It is known to leave a velvety sensation on the skin and is often used in face creams, lotions, bath oils, and suncare products. It also conditions the hair, leaving a glossy shine.

A close relative to the plum, peach and almond, the apricot fruit is grown in temperate zones. Apricots have been cultivated for centuries as a source of nourishment and for their cosmetic benefits. The apricot is a fleshy, orange colored fruit which contains a pit. At the center of that pit is a small kernel that yields the edible oil.

In the food industry, Apricot Kernel Oil is used to produce various candies and confectionery.
