apricot kernel oil

apricot kernel oil

Can you suggest an online resource for buying ingredients for homemade natural bath products?

Where I live, most of these items are usually either unavailable or too expensive, even in the rare store that specializes in natural life. I'm a frequent customer of Amazon.com, but I wondered if perhaps an online store that specializes in this sort of thing to be a better option. I'm looking for product quality, best price per ounce of unity (or relevant) and low or no shipping costs. Shipping time would be irrelevant since I'm only doing this to me, not a business. Some of the ingredients I'm looking for are: almond oil, apricot kernel oil soap Castile bees castor oil cocoa butter glycerine essential oils oil seeds Grape jojoba bean oil Macadamia Nut Oil Lanolin Orange flower water Rose water Tincture of stearic acid, wheat germ oil benzoin A few of these can found in my local Wal-Mart. The rest are simply not available. I found what appears to be a worthy resource for oil, at least in anything wholesalesuppliesplus.com similar would be great!

You'll find most of these on eBay and Amazon.

Great oil

by Jenny :) from NY, USA on 2010-08-09
I use this apricot kernel oil for skincare and haircare. The 16oz bottle comes with some ideas for what you can use this oil for. For haircare I use a mix of apricot kernel oil, sweet almond oil, and jojoba oil and it’s been good for my scalp and my hair with all its vitamin E and moisturizing properties. For skincare, these oils absorb quickly into the skin and doesn’t leave an oily residue. My skin is so much softer now and the creases on my neck have been reduced. I’m not at the age to have many wrinkles on my face yet, but it’s improved the texture of my skin and I have not gotten any pimples from these oils. This price is also cheaper than what I could find on ebay. I’m happy with this product!

It is really great. It has so many uses. One I like the best is using it as a hot oil treatment for my hair. I have really thin hair. This seems to give it a little bouse that I have never had. I mixed it in all my body washes, shampoos and conditioner. I have a rash on my legs and it does work, I just can keep my dogs from licking off. We all think it taste great.I put it on my salad and on my tuna sandwich n place of mayo. You can do so many thigs with it and it is good for you to.


Great for skin care!

by April Fear from CITRUS HEIGHTS, CA United States on 2008-02-29
I use this oil in a spray bottle with a little water. It is great for softening the skin and preventing wrinkles. Spray it on after showering and rub into the skin, you won’t believe how soft your skin will feel! It says it can be used in cooking, but I have only used it in place of lotion to soften the skin.

Nice enough oil, but leaked in shipping

by cherrycake from on 2009-07-22
Better order this separately from Amazon. It arrived having leaked all over the shipping box for a total loss of about 1/4 of one of the bottle’s volume. Each of the 4 bottles leaked a bit. The 4 bottles were bound together in a plastic wrap, but that didn’t prevent the oil from saturating the cardboard of other item’s packaging that were shipped with this. Luckily, my other orders were soup cans and other well-sealed foods. If there had been anything soft such as clothing in the box, it would have been ruined.

The over all loss of product was small enough that I’m willing to accept the value difference between what I paid for and what I received. It’s a nice oil, more absorbable on the skin than many. Has an over all soap-like scent that’s slightly off-putting.

A better brand is Spectrum

by C. Light from Central, Texas on 2008-07-16
Ive used this and some products you can pick NOW and know your not going to get the quality, but it doesnt matter it still good. Im thinking their tea tree oil is great. But /w this oil Id recommend Spectrum. I use the refined Apricot seed kernel oil as my moisturizer. (its a cooking oil) but its very thick and does wonders for your face . Now doesnt compare to it. the cost is more for spectrum but its like night and day difference between the two. So though this is OK its not thick and creamy like Spectrums oil


Light, soothing, and subtle…

by J. Holmanahart from Baltimore on 2007-01-22
…describes both this oil, and the way it makes my skin feel. I use it in my bath water or directly on my skin after my bath, even on my face, and it quickly absorbs. It spreads the scent of an essential oil evenly all over. Mmmmmm.
