Cold-Pressed Apricot Kernel Oil for Skin, Hair and the Table
Light, silky apricot kernel oil moves easily between personal-care rituals and carefully finished food.
A light personal-care oil
Massage two or three drops onto damp skin or smooth a small amount through dry hair ends.
Using a little at a time avoids an unnecessarily heavy finish.
A gentle finishing oil
Its mild nutty character suits salads and finished dishes.
Avoid high frying heat, which overwhelms the delicate aroma.
Cold pressing and storage
Cold pressing protects more of an oil’s natural character than aggressive refining.
Keep the bottle closed, cool and dark to slow oxidation.
