Apricot Kernel Oil Profile
Botanical Name- Prunus armeniaca
Origin- Kenya
Extraction- Expeller Pressed/Unrefined
Shelf life- 2 years recommended
Kosher Certified- No
Notes- Stores well under any condition but extreme heat will lessen the shelf life. Because of the expeller pressed and unrefined variety that we offer, this Apricot kernel oil is considerably darker in color and richer in scent when compared to what is currently being offered on the market. Recommended for cosmetic use only.
