Handcraft Blends Apricot Kernel Oil - 8 Fl Oz

I bought this probably a year ago and still have so much left. Love that it comes in a dark container (it's stored in a cool, dark place anyway) to keep it fresh longer. This has essentially no aroma whatsoever, which I appreciate. I typically mix this with my hand lotion by first squeezing out some lotion onto the back of my hand, then I add a tiny squirt of this on top of the lotion, and then I mix everything together by rubbing the backs of my hands together. I have sensory issues, so I absolutely CANNOT stand the feeling of lotion on my palms or fingertips. Sometimes I have to do it because my hands get so dry otherwise, but this method has enabled me to go this whole winter (thus far) without a single outbreak of eczema. Typically, by mid-December, I've got itchy spots all over the backs of my hands from my skin being so dry, and the air being so cold/dry. It usually gets to the point where I get cracks and deep fissures and then I have to start using my topical steroids. I have nary a crack or fissure in sight. I'm not even really diligent about applying - I do it when I think of it, not daily, for sure. When mixed with my lotion, I feel like this absorbs faster than when it's on its own. I know that seems strange - it's strange to me, too, but usually within 5 or 10 minutes, most everything has absorbed and I just feel soft and hydrated, rather than greasy. I recently started using a drop or two of this mixed with my nighttime moisturizer for some light facial massage and it has been glorious. My skin feels velvety soft and I wake up with glass skin. No joke, when I get up in the morning and turn the bathroom lights on, I can see the shapes of my vanity lights reflected in my forehead, but it's so nice that it's not greasy at all. I've probably purchased at least a half dozen other types of oil in all of my years, kind of searching for the holy grail. I really thought jojoba was going to be the best, but it smells too earthy and doesn't do a great job of actually making my skin feel moisturized. Read all sorts of stuff about emu oil, but that felt terrible on my skin. I've done argan oil, almond oil, etc., etc., and I haven't liked any quite as much as I like this one. Hard to say if I'd repurchase only because this bottle is so large that I may actually die before I use it all up, but if it were to ever go rancid or something over time, then I guess this would be the first oil that I'd repurchase, easily. For the price, it's also kind of a no-brainer, since this big bottle is a great value.

I have been using apricot oil for 7 years. It helps moisturize my skin and hair. in the dry weather. My curl hair look good if l apply this oil. No more fizzy hair. Help recover my scars quick as well. I purchase this again and again everytime I finished using it.

Very nice, pleasant aroma without being too strong. It’s very moisturizing but not too oily or sticky.

Great Quality! I used to use 'Now' Apricot Kernel Oil but the last time I ordered something was wrong with the batch of oil (other customers have also reported this). It was an odd greenish color and had an off smell. I ordered this brand instead and it is great! It has the light golden color I am used to and no smell! It feels great on my sensitive skin and I have had no negative reaction. I will purchase again once this bottle is used up!

Handcraft Blends offers several oils that I purchase for my soap making business. The price is right for the amount you receive. The oil is always fresh and when stored properly lasts quite a long time. It is easy to work with too. I recommend this for anyone that creates their own beauty products or soap. Shipping is always quick as well.

I purchased this instead of the coconut version to switch it up a bit. My skin is really sensitive, and I have allergies to many synthetic fragrances and I’ve found the best way for me to combat dryness and razor burn is using an oil on my legs when I get out of the shower instead of lotion. It also with minimizing pregnancy stretch marks. The pros with the apricot oil: - It does moisturize. My legs don’t dry out for days, and I live in an extremely dry climate. Using a little bit on my elbows keeps them nice and smooth too. - It hasn’t irritated my skin at all (a huge pro for me!) - There isn’t a strong scent to it. Cons: - it’s a little thick and viscous and feels like it takes some work and time to absorb. It could be really nice as a massage oil, but as something to apply a few minutes before donning clothes or PJs it’s not ideal. - The top isn’t great with extra coming out around the edges as I’m dispensing it, but unless it’s a dry oil spray I’ve yet to find one that keeps the top from getting a little oily. It’s a very minor issue Bottom line: it works, just with a little more work to soak in and avoid oil transfer. I’ll use more of the bottle and then save the rest for massages and try a different lighter oil in future for post-shower.

Smells nice. Quality is good. Great for making face or body oil mixes.

I love this all so much!❤️ I prefer this oil over any oils that I have used in the past. If keeps my skin moisturized. I can tell the oil completely absorbs into my skin, it does not leave and oily residue on top. Perfect for everyday use!

Me encantó, sirve muy bien como desmaquillante y para hidratar la piel. También puedes ponerlo en el.cabello.

Hablo solo de como me llegó el producto ,bien empaquetado sin ningun escurrimiento, después reseñare la efectividad del producto.

Me gusta q es de buena consistencia, lo uso en todo el cuerpo, cara, manos, cabello. El tamaño es bueno para uso constante. No me gusta q los aceites se pueden echar a perder rapido pero como lo uso seguido va muy bien y ayuda que el envase es oscuro. Muy recomendable.

BUENO EL PRODUCTO

Llegó en perfecto estado. No tiene aroma, es original y deja la piel muy humectada.
