Apricot Kernel Oil Manufacturer and Supplier in India
Apricots are small, spherical fruits with a tart, sweet flavor, and soft, silky pores and skin. They are commonly pale yellow to orange, roughly the size of plum. Ripe apricot is topically consumed raw, but they're also used in cooking and are usually dried.
Ayurvedic medicine uses the hydrating properties of apricot kernel oil to reduce signs of aging and boost the immune system.
Nowadays, Apricot Kernel Oil is highly valued for its nourishing qualities that are known to rejuvenate and hydrate the skin and hair. Due to the many benefits of Apricot Kernel Oil, it is also seen as a true all-rounder oil, making it the perfect addition to any skincare routine.
What is Apricot Kernel Oil
Apricot kernel oil is made from cold-pressing apricot seeds from the apricot plant to extract the oil from the apricot kernels. The average oil content in the kernels is between 20 to 30%, producing yellow-colored oil that mildly smells nutty.. The more refined the oil is, the lighter the aroma and color of the oil will be.
The oil of apricot kernel is light, gentle and non-sticky and for long has been considered as one of the best apricot oils for face and hair in Indian households. This miraculous oil has emollient, healing, antiseptic, antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-aging properties when applied to the skin and hair.
How Apricot kernel Oil Is Extracted in Aadhunik Ayurveda
Aadhunik’s pure apricot kernel oil is extracted from the kernels (seeds) of the apricot fruit through the cold-pressed method. Cold pressed is better as it does not alter the natural chemical compounds that are already present in the oil. It can be used both as a cosmetic and edible. This oil has a deep nutty flavor which also makes it an excellent ingredient for dessert and other recipes.
At Aadhunik we source the seeds from the Himalayan towns. A kilogram of seeds contains about 250 grams of oil. And the shelf life of the cold-pressed oil is about a year since it is cold-pressed.
Making of Apricot Oil at Aadhunik Ayurveda
At Aadhunik Ayurveda making of apricot kernel oil is by using a traditional technique where the outer shell of the apricot seed is broken to take the apricot seed out. It looks like tiny almonds and is bitter in taste and smell.
These tiny almonds look like seeds and are used in cold pressing to prepare the best apricot oil for face and hair.
Making of apricot kernel oil is highly labor intensive. Though time-consuming the traditional cold pressing method yields high-quality, chemical-free apricot oil perfect for topical applications and edible use in moderation.
This oil is highly nutritious containing multiple vital nutrients beneficial for skin, hair, and body.

Cyanide is considered poisonous to the body. It may lead to respiratory failure.Hence it is used in recipes in limited quantities.
Precautions
It may/may not suit oily acne-prone skin. It is suitable to apply on normal to dry skin types. Do a patch test when using the products for the first time. Always apply on a moist face/hand & feet/body for the best-desired results.
Do not cook with cold-pressed apricot oil. Add it to your cooked or raw recipes ready to eat in drops. Excess is bad. Do not eat/apply the oil if you are allergic to almonds.
