Apricot Kernel Oil

Prunus armeniaca
Contains: minerals and vitamins, esp. Vit. A.. Rich in GLA (only effective if oil is taken internally.)

Uses: all skin, very rich and nourishing. helpful for prematurely aged, sensitive, inflamed, delicate or dry skin

Len Price writes that Apricot Kernel oil is excellent for skin protection, since it is both emollient and nourishing.  Its light texture causes it to be readily absorbed by the skin.  It is beneficial in relieving the itchiness caused by eczema and is most suitable for sensitive skin or dry and aging skins.  I use it as part of my 'basic blend' for skin care, and it is one of my favorite carrier oils for mature skin.

Can be used 100% strength but normally used at 10-50%.
