Velvet soft skin
Rich in vitamin A and minerals, apricots produce a velvety oil that softens and seals in moisture. This protective oil is obtained by cold-pressing the stones of apricots, releasing the oil from the kernels inside. The oil is chiefly composed of oleic acid and linoleic acid, both of which are unsaturated fats beneficial for the skin. It is similar to almond oil.
