Apricot kernel oil benefits

As a nutrient hub of fatty acids, vitamins and minerals A, C, E, K, B17, phosphorus, niacin, magnesium, potassium, manganese and copper, apricot kernel oil is extremely beneficial for dry, mature, scaly and sensitive skin.

It is however light enough for oilier skin types, and has the ability to penetrate deep into the skin’s layers and repair cells from within. That’s why it’s used to treat skin diseases such as acne vulgaris, dandruff, as well as coughing and asthma(1).

It’s also proven to be a promising candidate to soothe and treat inflammatory skin conditions such as psoriasis(2) and eczema, whilst it firms and tones the skin.
