What is PRUNUS PERSICA KERNEL OIL used for?

Prunus Persica Kernel Oil offers a multitude of benefits for both skin and hair care. Rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants, it deeply nourishes and moisturizes the skin, promoting softness, smoothness, and radiance. Peach kernel oil's lightweight texture makes it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin, as it absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue.

It adds shine and softness while protecting against environmental damage.

Origin

Prunus Persica Kernel Oil, also known as peach kernel oil, is extracted from the kernels of peach fruits. The extraction process typically involves cold-pressing or solvent extraction methods. In cold-pressing, the kernels are mechanically pressed to release the oil, preserving its natural properties. Alternatively, solvent extraction involves using solvents to dissolve the oil from the kernels, followed by evaporation to obtain the pure oil. The resulting peach kernel oil is then filtered and refined as needed to ensure quality and purity.
