Skin and Senses’ brightly citrus Shine Revitalizing & Smoothing Body Oil combines several skin-beneficial oils, from jojoba to camellia. Another critical ingredient is apricot kernel oil, which contains high levels of oleic, linoleic, and other fatty acids.
The multi-step extraction process for this nourishing oil starts with cracking open pits and removing the kernels within. These kernels are then subject to a cold press process of grinding or crushing them. This allows the oil to retain its pure and natural properties without any chemicals or high temperatures altering them. A final filtration process removes any sediments or impurities.
Apricot kernel oil is high in vitamins A and E and other antioxidants that help safeguard cells against the effects of free radicals and environmental stressors. In particular, it safeguards against pollution and exposure to UV rays, which can result in premature aging. Another benefit of apricot kernel oil is its anti-inflammatory properties, making it gentle enough for susceptible skin types. Helping soothe irritated skin, it helps reduce redness and itching.
