Essentially Natural Apricot Kernel Oil - Refined is a light, fast-absorbing carrier oil pressed from apricot kernels
and gently refined for a clean, neutral finish. It has a silky slip that leaves skin soft without heaviness and is a
favourite for daily moisturising and massage. The refined profile keeps the scent subtle and makes it easy to blend
into both skincare and hair care routines. It is a versatile base oil for DIY blends and essential oil dilutions.
