Apricot kernel oil – Eco Collective

This mild, moisturizing oil is readily absorbed into the skin without leaving any residue behind. Apricot kernel oil is similar to sweet almond oil, but more suitable for sensitive and mature skin (as well as a great substitute for those with a nut allergy). It has a high vitamin E content, helping to lock in moisture and improve skin hydration, which makes it a good facial oil for dry skin.

Great to use in face and body creams, lotions, balms, hair care and soaps. It also makes a wonderful massage oil for babies and adults. 

It can also be used to treat psoriasis, eczema, acne and dandruff. This Apricot kernel oil is cold pressed/refined.

Instructions

This oil can be used alone or added to any DIY oil serum. Put a small amount of oil directly onto your fingers, apply to face, body and/or hair. Leave on and enjoy the nourishing benefits.

We recommend storing your oil in an aluminum bottle (or an amber glass bottle) to protect it from light. Store in a cool, dry place. Stores well under most conditions, but high heat will lessen the shelf life.

Back to DIY Ingredients | Bulk Bulk online

This item is a part of our Bulk Online selection! We created this option because we know not every person has access to a local bulk shop for these products, and we want to help you live a little gentler on the Earth no matter where you live. Each product is filled to order in our bulk section, and shipped right to your door with plastic-free packaging and carbon-neutral shipping!

We chose endlessly recylable aluminum bottles for liquids (with reusable specialty lids for dispensing products), and compostable bags for dry goods, due to the lightweight nature of each, to minimize shipping emissions. We ship a few thicker gel-consistency products in reusable glass mason jars – we encourage you to reuse these jars at home, and we even have a collection of mason jar accessories to transform your jar for another use!

If you’re local to Seattle, check out our zero waste bulk for store pickup option! Our retail store has a zero waste jar return program – so you can fill up any bulk product in our reusable mason jars – each jar has a $2 deposit so you can return clean, dry jars to us for a refund or credit, and we’ll sanitize and reuse them again and again!

Packaging & end of life

BPA free aluminum bottles with choice of cap, made in Colorado, USA. 

Reuse optional specialty lids when you order your next bottle as a refill with just a screw cap! Optional specialty lids are generally not recyclable, but are reusable. 

Reuse or recycle* clean, dry bottles and screw caps. Bottles and screw caps are made of aluminum which is infinitely recyclable, going from bin to store shelf in 60 days!

*We hope to someday offer a take back program for our aluminum bottles when we have the right equipment to sanitize them, but for now are excited to offer a highly recyclable way for you to order bulk goods even if you don’t have a bulk store in your area!
