DESCRIPTION 

Simple, sweet nourishment. Apricot Seed Liquid Extract – 100% Natural (Standardized) brings a concentrated boost of hydration and care to skin and hair formulations. Derived from nutrient-rich apricot seeds and blended with plant-based Propanediol, this extract is standardized at a 10:1 ratio, meaning ten parts of raw seed are condensed into one concentrated profile of essential fatty acids, minerals, and vitamins. 

Rich in Vitamins C and A, this extract helps gently lift impurities, promote exfoliation, and restore hydration for a refreshed, radiant complexion. Its naturally emollient properties support the skin’s barrier, improving smoothness and suppleness over time. With its pale yellow to amber hue, this versatile extract not only imparts beneficial nutrients but also adds a touch of natural color and sensorial richness to creams, serums, cleansers, and conditioners. 

Propanediol, a plant-based solvent derived from corn sugar, enhances the extract’s performance with clarity, stability, and a skin-friendly finish. It’s a versatile choice that fits seamlessly into everything from light gels to nourishing creams.

Liquid Extracts FAQ

Apricot Seed Liquid Extract FAQs: 

How is Apricot Seed Liquid Extract different from Apricot Kernel Carrier Oil? 

Apricot Kernel Carrier Oil is cold pressed from the kernels of the Prunus Armeniaca fruit. It is a viscous oil, pale yellow to golden yellow in color, and closely resembles the skin’s natural sebum. This gives it excellent cleansing, conditioning, and moisturizing properties. It can be used on its own or blended into formulations in place of a carrier oil. 

Apricot Seed Liquid Extract is a lighter, less viscous fluid extracted from apricot seeds using Propanediol, a clear, corn-derived solvent. Also rich in emollient properties, it delivers vitamins and minerals that help cleanse and exfoliate the skin. As a liquid extract, it provides a convenient alternative to powdered extracts and can be seamlessly incorporated into a wide range of formulations.
