Umuthi Apricot Kernel Oil - Cold Pressed

Umuthi Apricot Kernel Oil - Cold Pressed is a cold-pressed carrier oil from apricot kernels. It is a light, smooth oil that absorbs well and is commonly chosen for massage, skincare, and haircare formulations where a softer, less oily after-feel is preferred. This is a cosmetic oil rather than a food-grade culinary oil.

It is often selected when a gentler-feeling alternative to heavier carrier oils is wanted. Why we love it: This is a lovely easy-wearing oil that feels soft and silky without leaving too much residue behind. It is especially useful when you want a carrier oil that feels light but still comfortably nourishing.
