A WONDERFUL OIL TO USE IN YOUR FACECREAM
I’m so happy with this oil. I use a mix of this, Jojoba and rosehip seed and in just a week or so my acne has calmed, my skin is more hydrated (without feeling oily) and complexion is looking much more even. I’ve tried so many different products and spent thousands on expensive ones but the switch to simple, natural oils has been the most effective so far!
I drink it and I use it on my face , my skin is now smooth and hydrated
Love this product, noticed my skin is soft and glowing. Will definitely buy it again!
Apricot Kernel Oil is so good for skin. It makes the perfect cuticle oil! And as always, service and delivery was top notch
Keep my skin moistured and hydrated
This is always in my cupboard. A perfect base for a oil serum for wrinkles and crinkles :)
It all started with a free sample... I only do oil and honey cleanse on my face, followed by vegetable glycerine and then again different oils as moisturiser. I love to use apricot kernel oil at night, seeing that it is much richer than jojoba for instance. Even though I have a combination skin this oil is definitely worth using and do not cause breakouts. My body loves this oil too. It is quite inexpensive and definitely worth using as a all rounder. It absorbs very well and leaves skin super soft. A must have for every oil lover!
Great oil for cuticles!!
Super thankful that EN keeps products like this in stock! I was worried it would be hard to find
I am so happy with this product and at a reasonable price. The quality and consistency is excellent and it is helping me a lot with my healthy natural hair journey! Would def recommend it as a must have oil in your natural hair collection
Great for mature skins
Good quality
Good quality impressed
Five Stars
For years and years I have used only apricot kernel oil on my face and neck. Inexpensive and sinks in beautifully without leaving oiliness. Trustworthy, simple product which my skin laps up. Sometimes simple is more.
