Peach Kernel Oil

Extracted from the kernels of peaches (Prunus persica), this gentle, lightweight oil is valued for its delicate texture and pleasant character. Cold-pressed to preserve its natural properties, peach kernel oil has been used in cosmetic formulations for generations, prized for its elegant feel and versatility in natural beauty products.

About This Oil

Peach kernel oil is cold-pressed from the kernels found within peach stones, which are carefully processed to yield a pure, cosmetic-grade oil. This oil typically has a pale yellow appearance and a mild, slightly sweet, nutty aroma that is subtle and pleasant in formulations.

Peaches have been cultivated for thousands of years, originating in China before spreading along the Silk Road to Persia and eventually throughout the world. The kernels, much like those of apricots, contain an oil that has gained recognition as a gentle, versatile cosmetic ingredient suitable for various applications.

Peach kernel oil is prized for its light, silky texture that absorbs readily into skin without leaving a greasy residue. Its similarity to apricot kernel oil, combined with its slightly lighter feel, makes it a popular choice for both facial and body care formulations. The oil's gentle character and pleasant aroma have made it a favourite among cosmetic formulators seeking refined, elegant ingredients.

This oil has good stability when properly stored, maintaining its quality for extended periods. The cold-pressing process preserves the oil's naturally occurring nutrients, making it a premium choice for natural cosmetic formulations.
