Apricot Kernel Oil

OVERVIEW

Apricot kernel oil is one of the mildest base oils and is especially popular for very sensitive and delicate skin. For the care of baby or children's skin it is a very compatible skin care.

It is absorbed quickly into the skin, but not particularly deeply. Nevertheless, it has softening fatty acids and provides a supple skin feeling. It protects the skin from environmental influences and prevents moisture loss from the skin.

It is important to pay attention to a high quality, because only apricot kernel oil from organic cultivation is guaranteed free of pesticides and pollutants. The positive properties of the oil for the skin from the outside and from the inside are preserved. Cold-pressed organic apricot kernel oil has a slightly sweet scent of almonds and marzipan. Refined oil, on the other hand, is heated and chemically treated and thus loses the typical pleasant scent and many important components.

The organic apricot kernel oil is a component of the Lipid Glory Day Oil.

Skin types

The organic apricot kernel oil is suitable for all skin types but especially the sensitive skin is happy about this millde base oil. Its caring effect and skin compatibility make it a mild oil, which is even suitable for sensitive baby skin. Even irritated or irritated skin can be soothed by apricot kernel oil.

Application

Apply a few drops of apricot oil to previously cleansed skin. As is true for all skin care oils, this oil is best absorbed when the skin is still very slightly moist.

The light texture of the oil also makes it a nourishing hair oil for long and slightly thicker hair. To do this, a few drops of the oil are added to the still damp hair, distributed and then styled as usual. It provides suppleness, shine and protection.

Due to its gliding properties, this mild base oil can also be used wonderfully for massages, for example for a soothing facial massage that promotes circulation.

An oil-based product is absorbed much faster when the skin is well moisturized. The waterline products by LIPID GLORY with the Hydrating Serum or the Balancing Toner are perfect for providing the skin with intensive moisturizers.

Mix your individual emulsion

The apricot kernel oil combines with the Hydrating Serum in seconds to form a spontaneous emulsion. Emulsions can be handy in some skincare routines because, depending on the consistency, they absorb faster and leave a different finish. With the Day Oil combined with the Hydrating Serum, you can decide how light or how rich you want your fluid, lotion or cream to be. Mix a fresh emulsion according to your individual needs, without emulsifiers, additional preservatives, gelling agents or stabilizers.

A small, arbitrary amount of the serum is mixed with a few drops of oil, in the palm of the hand with quick and circular fingers, to form an emulsion and then gently massaged in. Prior to this, the skin can be prepped with the hydrating and balancing Balancing Toner. The Hydrating Serum itself can also provide an extra moisture booster before applying the emulsion.

As a light and protective base care for the day, apricot kernel oil, applied under sunscreen, can make skin feel softer.
