Handcraft Blends Apricot Kernel Oil – Cold-Pressed 16 fl oz, 100% Pure Hexane-Free Lightweight Carrier for Skin & Hair

Handcraft Blends Apricot Kernel Oil is a 100% pure, cold-pressed carrier oil in a 16 fl oz bottle, made for skin, hair, massage, and diluting essential oils without additives.

Cold-pressed from apricot kernels, this premium-grade oil offers a lightweight, non-greasy texture that absorbs easily. It’s free of hexane and other solvents, supplied undiluted so you control concentration when mixing with essential oils or other botanicals. The oil’s neutral scent and stable composition make it a versatile base for daily moisturizing, hair routines, aromatherapy blends, and professional massage applications.

How does this apricot oil benefit daily skin care?

This carrier oil spreads smoothly and sinks into the skin to help maintain surface hydration and improve skin feel. It’s commonly used as a moisturizer, a massage base, and a blending medium for serums and DIY body oils. While not a replacement for targeted treatments, it supports skin comfort and manageability when applied alone or mixed.

• Lightweight texture that absorbs without heavy residue
• Neutral aroma so it doesn’t interfere with essential oil blends
• Suitable for face and body as a daily emollient
• Cold-pressed and hexane-free for a more natural extraction

Will this oil help my hair routine?

Used alone or as part of a pre-shampoo or leave-in treatment, apricot kernel oil can soften strands and improve manageability. Its vitamin-rich profile helps boost shine and reduce friction while combing. Apply sparingly to avoid buildup, focusing on mid-lengths and ends.

• Apply a few drops to damp hair for shine and detangling
• Use as an overnight pre-wash treatment on dry ends
• Mix with other carrier oils for tailored hair blends
• Does not weigh hair down when used in small amounts

How do I use Handcraft Blends Apricot Kernel Oil with essential oils?

This oil is an ideal diluent for essential oils: it mellows potency and makes topical application safer. Start with a conservative dilution ratio (for adults, commonly 1–3% essential oil concentration) and adjust by intended use and skin sensitivity. Always patch-test a blend before wider application.

• Typical dilution: 1–3% essential oil in carrier for topical use
• One drop essential oil ≈ one drop per 1 tsp carrier for low concentration
• Shake or stir blends to ensure even distribution
• Label mixtures with concentration and date for safety

What makes this product a reliable choice for massage professionals?

The oil’s smooth glide and steady absorption make it a favorite in massage settings. It enhances the spread of essential oils and herbal extracts while maintaining a pleasant tactile feel for both therapist and client. Because it’s uncut and free from additives, therapists can customize blends to their technique and client needs.

• Provides consistent glide without overly slick residue
• Cold-pressed purity gives predictable performance in blends
• Large 16 fl oz size suitable for repeated professional use
• Neutral scent keeps aromatics from overpowering the session

Who is this for? This Handcraft Blends Apricot Kernel Oil is aimed at home users, DIY formulators, hair and skin enthusiasts, and massage or spa professionals who want a pure, multipurpose carrier oil. If you value a solvent-free, cold-pressed base that mixes well with essential oils and other botanicals, this 16 fl oz bottle provides a practical supply for daily routines and creative formulations.
