Use

apricot kernel oil is an emollient with a non-greasy feel. It provides good slip and lubricity to a product. Primarily used as a carrier, apricot kernel oil is rapidly absorbed by the skin, and once absorbed, acts as a good occlusive and moisturizing agent. It is popular for use in cosmetics given its skin-softening action. This oil has a high vitamin e content that some claim can aid the skin in retaining elasticity, clarity, and suppleness. Apricot kernel oil is a triglyceride in the same category as avocado oil, olive oil, and sesame oil, and consists of approximately 75 percent oleic acid, 20 percent linoleic acid, and unsaturated fatty acids esterfied with glycerin. Apricot kernel oil is considered by some chemists to be a natural replacement for mineral oil. It is extracted from the apricot kernel by expression and is far less expensive than almond oil, which it very closely resembles and therefore can substitute.
