Greenwood Essential Pure Apricot Kernel Oil (Prunus armeniaca) Cold Pressed 30ml (1 oz)

One of the loveliest oils. Beautiful fragrance. I used once on the face and fell in love with it. It makes a great moisturiser and base for liquid make-up. Light and delicately fragranced. Easy to massage on and very nourishing. Also nice to massage in after bathing and then just blot off before sleeping. Leaving most of it on overnight is a good way to get the best out of it but if you don't want to get any on the pillowslip just blot gently off and/or sleep with a hand towel on the pillow. Will always be on of my staples. I have many from this brand and they are consistently good.

My wife has a lot of skin sensitivity, so she doesn’t use anything but warm water and a washcloth to clean her face. Normally, she has nice, healthy skin; however, this winter she’s had way more trouble with dryness than before. She hates the feeling of moisturizing creams and has a tendency to break out from anything clogging her pores, so she was pretty much just accepting the chapped skin on her cheeks and around her mouth.Then she read that apricot seed oil could moisturize your face without irritating sensitive skin or causing acne, so she decided to give it a shot. She’s been using this for about a week now, and the chapping is gone. She’s got a nice, healthy glow again, and her face is even looking less wrinkled than before.A little dab goes a long way. She tried using the dropper that came with the bottle of oil, but it wasn’t letting any come out. Therefore, she just holds her finger over the open bottle to moisten the tip, and then massages it into her skin. She’s been applying it to her cheeks, around her eyes, mouth, chin and neck, with great results.This oil is very gentle and doesn’t cause any irritation—even when applied around the eyes and mouth. She hasn’t noticed any breakouts since she started this twice-daily regimen. About the only issue she’s had is her hair gets a bit oily, if it touches her skin soon after she has applied the oil. The fine wrinkles around her mouth and eyes are diminishing, and her skin is hydrated and more plump.She also appreciates the price. A one-ounce bottle is under $9, which is good for an all-natural 100% pure oil like this.

I’m very impressed with the Greenwood Essential oils. They need to be blended with a carrier oil and not put directly on the skin. The tiny vials come with a dropper that must be inserted after the product is opened. This is kind of a pain and not an easy task for someone like me with “old” hands but I got it to work and find it a good shipping practice for the company. There surely won’t be complaints about leakage.I also like the amount of information that is included on each label. There is a sticker that give the plant extraction, the batch number, the date packaged and the expiration date. There is no way you’re going to get an old product.The oils I’ve tried are Basil (this has a fresh vegetal aroma), Moroccan Argon (I found this scent very light), Bergamot (my favorite – this smells distinctly of limes), Melissa (fresh and clean, this is lemony. As one other reviewer said “it smells like lemon Pledge), Apricot Kernel (this one surprised me. I couldn’t identify the aroma but I got an urge for a slice of peach pie).I like to put drops of essential oils on a cotton ball and tuck into corners. These, to me, seem like quality products.

I was recommended this oil to use on my psoriasis and I have to say it was good advice. It softens hard skin, and isn't greasy or slimey.Its made from the inner nut from an apricot so its a natural product that's suitable for vegetarians.

I love using this oil all over, but it really shines in my hair. I use it in a hot oil treatment before shampooing and a little after in my damp hair for moisture. It smooths and shines my hair without weighing it down. I also use this on my face in an oil cleanser and a drop after cleansing. I also use this on my body after showering when my skin is still damp for extra moisture!
