Apricot Oil for Skin

Rated 4.9 out of 5
Based on 8 reviews

Apricot oil is a lightweight and nourishing oil that comes from the seeds of apricots. While it has a subtle and delicate nutty aroma, its cosmetic benefits are anything but subtle.

Due to its smooth and silky texture, it can help you maintain vibrant-looking skin. Plus, apricot oil has an uplifting aroma that you can mix with essential oils and moisturizers for a relaxing bedtime skincare routine.

Ready To Use

Apricot oil is a carrier oil, which means that it is a ready-to-use oil. You can apply it to your skin directly, or for added benefits, you can combine it with essential oils, like lavender, carrot, and even geranium. These are great choices because they play off the scent of the apricot and create an even more relaxing aroma.

Highlights
100% Pure Carrier Oil
Why Purity Matters Carrier Oils are sourced from all over the world, and not every source is created equal.

Though all Wholesale Botanics oils are safe to use as directed, this 100% pure oil is the most natural version of Carrier Oils possible, free of any additional substances.
Responsibly sourced with renewable practices

We want our carrier oils to have a positive impact on the world, and we avoid suppliers who don't share those values.
