Apricot oil is extracted from the kernels (seeds) of apricots. The oil can be obtained from kernels using solvent extraction or a cold pressed method. We only ever use cold-pressed apricot oil because this ensures that the chemical compounds in the oil are not altered. Very, very important for blending the highest-quality oil in our skincare.
