Apricot Kernel Oil 1 Oz.

Product Details

Apricot kernel oil serves as a wonderful carrier oil in aromatherapy. Carrier oils dilute essential oils, which are very potent, and help them penetrate the skin safely. Apricot kernel oil is particularly favored for its lightweight texture and because it absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue. This makes it a good choice for facial massage and for people with sensitive skin. Despite not being an essential oil, apricot kernel oil boasts its own set of benefits. Rich in vitamins A and E, it acts as a natural emollient, softening and soothing dry, irritated skin. Its mild properties make it ideal for those with sensitive skin.

When selecting essential oils to pair with apricot kernel oil, consider your desired aromatherapy benefits. Lavender oil, known for its calming properties, blends well with apricot kernel oil for a relaxing massage oil. For a stimulating massage, try pairing it with grapefruit or rosemary essential oil. Apricot kernel oil can also be used to dilute essential oils for use in a diffuser. Experiment with different essential oil combinations to create custom aromatherapy blends that suit your needs.

Apricot kernel oil has also found a place in various magical practices. Its golden color is associated with the sun and fire, lending it a masculine energy. Some practitioners use apricot kernel oil to anoint candles or tools during rituals. The oil is also believed to symbolize vitality and growth, making it a potential addition to spells or rituals focused on these intentions.
