Peach Kernel Oil

Peach Kernel Oil is a light, pale golden carrier oil with a smooth texture and a soft, natural feel on the skin. It absorbs easily without heaviness, making it well suited to everyday skin and body care where gentle nourishment is needed.

Fatty Acid Composition

Peach Kernel Oil is naturally rich in oleic and linoleic acids, which contribute to its softening and conditioning feel on the skin. Smaller amounts of palmitic and stearic acids add structure and stability without heaviness.

Skin Type and Suitability

This oil is particularly suitable for dry, sensitive and mature skin, but is gentle enough for most skin types. Its light texture makes it a good option for facial use as well as body care.

How to Use Peach Kernel Oil

Massage and body care
Use directly on the skin or as a carrier oil for essential oils. It provides good slip and absorbs well, making it comfortable for massage.

Facial care
Apply a few drops to clean, slightly damp skin as a lightweight facial oil, or mix into serums and creams to add softness without clogging.

DIY cosmetics
Incorporate into lotions, creams, balms and body oils as a gentle emollient base.

Hair and scalp care
Apply sparingly to dry hair ends for smoothness, or massage into the scalp before washing to condition and soften.

Blending with Essential Oils

Peach Kernel Oil is a suitable carrier for most essential oils. Typical dilution rates are 1 to 2% for facial use and up to 5% for body applications, depending on the essential oil used and skin sensitivity.

Storage

Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Keep the cap tightly closed to maintain freshness.

Caution

For external use only.
