PURA D'OR Organic Apricot Kernel Oil 16 oz — 100% Pure USDA Certified, Lightweight Moisturizing & Carrier Oil

PURA D'OR Organic Apricot Kernel Oil is a single-ingredient, USDA-certified organic oil for lightweight daily moisturizing, scalp and hair care, and aromatherapy blending.

Extracted from the kernels of apricots and bottled at full potency, this 16 oz jar of apricot oil is designed to hydrate without heaviness. The formula is free of fillers and additives, making it a versatile carrier oil for essential oils, an everyday facial and body moisturizer, and a massage oil that absorbs cleanly. It supports skin softness and can add shine to hair while being gentle enough for regular use on face, body, and scalp.

How will this oil fit into my morning skin routine?

Use a few drops of PURA D'OR apricot kernel oil after cleansing and toning to lock in moisture without a greasy finish. Its light texture allows quick absorption, making it suitable as a standalone moisturizer or mixed with your favorite serum. Apply gently across the face and neck, and press lightly to help absorption.

• Apply 2–4 drops to clean skin; pat until absorbed.
• Mix with water-based serums to boost hydration.
• Use under sunscreen or makeup for smoother application.

Can I use this oil for hair and scalp care?

PURA D'OR apricot oil serves as a nourishing hair and scalp treatment to help manage dryness and add shine. It can be warmed slightly and massaged into the scalp to soothe dryness, or applied sparingly to mid-lengths and ends to reduce frizz and improve luster. For deeper conditioning, leave on as an overnight pre-wash treatment.

• Scalp massage with 1–2 teaspoons to relieve dryness.
• Apply a small amount to ends to reduce split-end appearance.
• Use as an overnight mask for intensive nourishment.

How do I blend this apricot oil with essential oils safely?

This oil is an excellent carrier for essential oils because it’s neutral and absorbent, diluting concentrated extracts for topical use. Start with a conservative ratio—typically 1–2% essential oil for facial blends and up to 3–5% for body applications. Always patch-test a small area first to check for sensitivity.

• Facial blends: 1 drop essential oil per teaspoon of apricot oil.
• Body blends: 3–5 drops per teaspoon of carrier oil.
• Perform a 24-hour patch test before full use.

What makes this product different from other carrier oils?

PURA D'OR’s apricot kernel oil is USDA certified organic and contains just one ingredient—no additives or fillers—which makes it straightforward and reliable for multiple uses. Its balance of vitamins and fatty acids provides a lightweight alternative to heavier oils like coconut or avocado, absorbing quickly and leaving little residue. The 16 oz size gives good value for regular face, hair, and body applications or for aromatherapy blending.

• USDA Organic certified; single-ingredient purity.
• Lightweight, fast-absorbing texture with minimal residue.
• Cost-effective 16 oz bottle for frequent use.

Who is this for? PURA D'OR Organic Apricot Kernel Oil is ideal for people looking for a gentle, multi-purpose carrier oil without additives: those who want a lightweight facial oil, a nourishing hair and scalp treatment, or a clean base for essential oil blends. It's also a good match for anyone seeking USDA-certified organic ingredients and an affordable, versatile oil for daily self-care.
