Apricot Kernel Oil

Apricot Kernel Oil – Cold-Pressed Cosmetic & Food Grade

Product Overview

Apricot Kernel Oil is a light, nourishing fixed oil extracted from the inner kernels of the apricot fruit (Prunus armeniaca). Naturally rich in oleic and linoleic acids, vitamin E, and phytosterols, it is prized for its smooth texture, mild aroma, and excellent skin absorption. Used in cosmetics for its emollient and soothing properties, and in food for its mild nutty flavor, Apricot Kernel Oil is a versatile ingredient in natural wellness and gourmet applications.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply Cold-Pressed Apricot Kernel Oil produced under ISO 22000 Food Safety Management standards. Our oil is extracted at controlled temperatures to preserve its natural nutrients and stability. With food-grade and cosmetic-grade options available, Tuna Sourcing ensures consistent global supply and premium quality for manufacturers across multiple industries.
