DESCRIPTION
Plum Kernel Organic Carrier Oil is cold pressed from the kernels of organically grown Prunus domestica trees native to Turkey. Known for its natural lipid content, light texture, emollient properties, and unique scent, the organic variety of Plum Kernel Oil is certified by the QAI, ensuring environmental, social, and agricultural sustainability.
Rich in Oleic Acid and Vitamin E, this carrier oil delivers exceptional nourishing and protecting properties. Its versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of skin care and hair care formulations, but it is especially beneficial in products designed for dry, sensitive, or mature skin types. Unlike heavier oils, Plum Kernel Organic Oil offers a satin-like finish that absorbs quickly without leaving residue, enhancing the sensory experience of finished formulas.
Plum Kernel Organic Oil’s subtle almond-like aroma also lends a luxurious character to formulations, eliminating the need for added fragrance in many applications. Ideal for formulators seeking a mild, emollient-rich, and fast-absorbing organic carrier oil that performs well in lip balms, facial oils, moisturizers, and anti-aging skin care products.
