Handcraft Blends Apricot Kernel Oil - Cold-Pressed 28 Fl Oz - 100% Pure and Natural - Premium Grade Carrier Oil for Skin and Hair - Hair and Body - Massage - Hexane-Free

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.

Great value very moisturizing as I use this to make my facial cleanser leaves skin very soft without irritation smells fantastic

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!

Fuss free packaging. The oil is light and goes in smooth. It leaves your skin feeling soft and supple. It's made of 100% apricot oil and you get a little over 16oz of oil that's over a pound for just ten bucks. Top notch oil at such a great deal! There is even an expiration date to let you know when it is best to be used.

No weird smell and works great for cosmetics like soap, and lotion. No skin irritation but everyone is different.

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.

The only oil ive tried that actually removes all wrinkles if you use every day for 2 months. Not deep enough truelly for dry skin.

This is the healthiest oil you can use for your skin. It's not petroleum based.
