In some cases, people who are allegic to nuts such as almond oil will replace it with apricot seed kernel oil for medicinal purposes and skincare. This oil is not for culinary use because of its concentration. There is a high concentration of oil in each kernel and has likely been in use for thousands of years, given its multiple applications in Chinese, and Middle Eastern holistic traditional medicine.
Packed with antioxidants, apricot kernel seed oil can reduce oxidative stress in the skin, which is good news for people who are suffering from premature aging or have wrinkles, says a study published by researchers from the Centre of Excellence for Pharmaceutical Sciences, North-West University, South Africa in the Molecules Journal.
