Description
Apricot Oil (Prunus armeniaca) is a subtle, fine, and well-tolerated cosmetic oil, generally suitable for all skin types and all ages, including the delicate skin of babies. It has a light texture, absorbs quickly, and provides an instantly brighter and more supple feel to the skin right after application. It is the natural choice for mature, sensitive skin or for eye area care.
It is a staple ingredient in the most positive sense: gentle, effective, and never unpleasant on the skin, which is why it is recommended in formulas for delicate, demanding skin, in eye creams, as well as in baby and children's oils.

Practical recommendations
- Light face oil: Apply 2-3 drops onto clean skin, morning or evening. It absorbs quickly without any unpleasant feeling.
- Eye makeup remover: Apply a few drops onto a cotton pad to remove makeup from the eyes.
- Ingredient in serum or cream: Use as an ingredient in the oil phase, providing a light texture to the final formula.
Synergies in face care
For a lightweight and soothing day serum, the synergy with Centella Asiatica Oil and Aloe Vera Oil offers a fine texture and a regenerating effect for sensitive skin. As a base for an eye cream, the association with Rice Bran Oil and Sea Buckthorn Oil brings brightness without a greasy feel. On mature skin, combining it with Blackcurrant Seed Oil and Rosehip CO2 Extract completes the antioxidant spectrum.

- Relaxing massage oil: Use pure or combined with other vegetable and essential oils for a pleasant massage with optimal absorption.
- Children's skin care: Apply onto the sensitive skin of children for hydration and emollience, without major risks of irritation.
- After-sun oil: Incorporate at 20-50% into a post-sun exposure care formula.

This is my favorite oil! Have been using it every morning for 1 month on my neck and face, my skin is no longer as tight as it used to be and stays soft even when it's cold. Very easy to apply, non-greasy, quickly absorbed, unobtrusive smell. I completely gave up creams for a year in favor of vegetable oils (apricot, raspberry and blackcurrant), I feel better from this and my 52-year-old skin thanks me ;)

This oil has been in our house for years. I have used it both for the kids when they were babies but also now in body creams for the whole family (apricot+cocoa+sometimes coconut, raspberry/cherry) I love it on my face and décolleté (I have oily skin) it absorbs super fast, I can use it in the morning (combined with jojoba) when I rush to leave for the office as it absorbs in seconds. Ideally massaged on damp skin.
