Prunus Persica Kernel Oil

Peach kernel oil

Peach kernel oil (Prunus persica) is pressed from the seeds hidden inside the fruit's hard stones. It is a close relative of sweet almond oil and apricot kernel oil - with a similarly light texture and gentle character.

It contains mainly oleic and linoleic acids as well as vitamin E. It moisturises and softens the skin, improves its elasticity and helps reduce water loss. It absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy layer, making it a great choice for dry and sensitive skin.

In our cosmetics, you will find it in our nourishing hand and body lotion.

Did you know?: Despite its Latin name persica, meaning Persian, the peach comes from China - it reached Europe via Persia, hence the name.
