Description

Cherry Kernel Oil (Prunus cerasus) is a lightweight vegetable oil and an ally in anti-aging care, thanks to its richness in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and phytosterols, complemented by a rarer compound, eleostearic acid, from the Omega-5 family. It is recommended for mature, devitalized, or wrinkled skin, but its light texture also makes it accessible for normal or combination skin.

It is a premium cosmetic ingredient for anti-aging facial serums, eye area creams, and products intended for dull skin lacking radiance. It is versatile; in addition to its effects on the face, it provides nourishing benefits for the hair and scalp.

Main Properties

checkAntioxidant: vitamin E and phytosterols contribute to protecting the skin from free radical damage and promoting collagen synthesis.
checkAnti-aging: helps reduce the signs of aging, contributing to a more youthful appearance of the skin, and improves skin uniformity.
checkBarrier restructuring: helps strengthen the skin barrier and reduce mild skin inflammation.
checkPremium sensory profile: the light texture allows for application in the daytime routine without a greasy feel, absorbing quickly.
checkNourishing for hair and scalp: brings nourishing benefits to the hair, contributing to a healthier appearance of the strands.
checkIndirect cellular photo-protection: the conjugated eleostearic acid helps form a fine shield on the skin's surface, which absorbs part of the stress induced by UV radiation.

Usage & Synergies

Face care

Cherry Kernel Oil is suitable for mature, devitalized, or wrinkled skin, but its light texture makes it accessible for normal or combination skin in the daytime routine as well. Rapid absorption also recommends it for use under makeup.

Practical recommendations

Face oil: Apply 2-3 drops onto clean skin, massage gently until absorbed.
Ingredient in anti-aging serum: Incorporate at 20-40% into an oily serum, alongside actives that support cell renewal.
Eye contour cream: Use as a base ingredient for a cream intended for the periocular area.

Synergies in face care

For a day serum with an antioxidant effect, the synergy with Apricot Oil and Sea Buckthorn Oil provides a fine texture for the morning routine. On mature skin, the association with Blackcurrant Seed Oil and Bakuchiol supports the anti-aging effect. As an ingredient for an eye cream, combining it with Rice Bran Oil or Oat Oil maintains an optimal texture for the sensitive area.

Body care

At the body level, Cherry Kernel Oil is a premium choice for lightweight, non-greasy body oils intended for skin that requires hydration without a film-like feeling.

Practical recommendations

Light body oil: Apply onto damp skin after showering for fine, velvety hydration.
Ingredient in nourishing cream: Incorporate at 20-40% into body creams or butters for extra antioxidants.

Synergies in body care

For an antioxidant and lightweight body oil, the synergy with Milk Thistle Oil and Isoamyl Laurate offers a satin-dry texture.

Hair care

On hair, Cherry Kernel Oil contributes to the nourished appearance of fine or normal strands without weighing them down. It is a good choice for hair that requires a touch of lightweight nourishment.

Practical recommendations

Leave-in serum: Apply a small amount to the ends for extra nourishment and shine.

Synergies in hair care

For a lightweight and nourishing leave-in serum, the synergy with Organic Camellia Oil and Phyto-Silicone provides discrete shine, suitable for fine or normal hair.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is eleostearic acid?
It is a fatty acid with a rare unsaturated structure that acts as a natural absorber of UV radiation (offering indirect cellular photo-protection) and creates an extremely fine, protective barrier on the skin's surface without clogging pores. Together with the other fatty acids in the composition, it contributes to the antioxidant and regenerating profile of this oil.

Is it suitable for oily skin?
Its light texture and rapid absorption make it more accessible than many base oils, but on oily or acne-prone skin, preliminary testing and use in moderate doses are recommended.

Does it smell like cherries?
The oil extracted from the kernels has a specific, fine, slightly bitter scent, similar to almonds. It does not have the fruity aroma of cherry fruits.
