FAQ

What is the difference between apricot oil and sweet almond oil?
Both are light and well-tolerated, with a dominant omega-9 profile. Apricot is slightly richer in omega-6 and has a slightly drier touch. Sweet almond is a bit more emollient and oilier. For very dry skin: sweet almond. For a drier touch and fast absorption: apricot.

Can apricot oil be used around the eyes?
Yes, it is one of the best-tolerated vegetable oils for the eye contour thanks to its lightness and good skin tolerance. Apply in a small amount with the fingertip by tapping gently. Avoid any direct contact with the eyes.

Is apricot oil suitable for combination and oily skin?
Yes, better than many vegetable oils due to its dry touch and fast absorption. It does not clog pores and does not leave a greasy film, making it compatible with combination to oily skin.
