{"product_id":"apricot-oil-kernel-prunus-armeniaca-cold-pressed","title":"Apricot Kernel Oil","description":"\u003cp\u003eApricot Kernel Oil (INCI Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil) is a cold-pressed kernel oil with oleic acid at 58–74% and linoleic at 20–34%. Closely resembles sweet almond oil in fatty acid profile but is lighter in feel, which makes it a common substitute where a less occlusive finish is wanted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlso known as:\u003c\/strong\u003e Apricot Kernel Oil, Khubani Oil, Khumani Oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003ePrunus armeniaca\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant part used:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seed (kernel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eINCI name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtraction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cold-pressed, Unrefined (virgin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carrier oil (liquid)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pale golden yellow; Mild, slightly sweet-nutty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cosmetic-grade · Food-grade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShelf-life:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12–24 months · below 20 °C · tightly sealed · away from light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOleic acid (C18:1)\u003c\/strong\u003e (58–74%) — Deep emollient, skin softening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLinoleic acid (C18:2)\u003c\/strong\u003e (20–34%) — Skin-barrier conditioning, soothing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalmitic acid (C16:0)\u003c\/strong\u003e (4–7%) — Skin protection and texture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStearic acid (C18:0)\u003c\/strong\u003e (0.5–3%) — Skin conditioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVitamin E (Tocopherol)\u003c\/strong\u003e (Trace) — Oxidative protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2–10% in emulsions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10–30% in facial oil serums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50–100% as standalone carrier or massage base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommon applications: facial serums, massage oils, body lotions, hair conditioners and baby skin care.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the primary formulation applications of Apricot Kernel Oil?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost buyers use it at 2–10% in emulsions; 10–30% in facial oil serums; 50–100% as standalone carrier or massage base.
