The highlights of Apricot Oil

Anti-microbial

A wonderfully hydrating and healing oil suitable for all skin types but with anti microbial benefits, it is also a good choice for acne prone skin. Being rich in antioxidants, makes apricot oil a great choice for fighting the signs of aging and protecting the skin from damage by promoting collagen production and improving firmness. Vitamins A & E help repair skin cells to even out skin tone and texture thereby reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and scars.
Apricot oil has anti inflammatory and healing benefits due to the high oleic acid and linoleic acid content. These are fatty acids that help strengthen and protect the natural skin barrier, reducing moisture loss while soothing dry, damaged and irritated skin. Combined with the moisturising properties of the oil, this is a great choice for dry skin and those suffering with eczema.
Our skin is our barrier to the outside world, protecting against pollution, chemicals and weather, we therefore only use ingredients that help rebuild and nourish our skin naturally. Whether used just as a night time treat or if used as a daily ritual morning and night, regular use of nourishing skin oils, backed up with a healthy natural diet, can really boost the skins natural barrier and are overall wellbeing.
Why not try it for yourselves with a soap or a sample sized body or face oil
