Popular Ways to Use Apricot Kernel Oil

- Massage oil: a smooth glide that is lighter than sweet almond.

How to Blend Essential Oils into Apricot Kernel Oil
- Face: about 0.5–1% (1–2 drops of essential oil per 10 ml, or 3–6 drops per 1 oz)
- Body and massage: about 1–2% (3–6 drops per 10 ml, or 6–12 drops per 1 oz)
- Strong or skin-sensitive essential oils such as peppermint, cinnamon, clove and lemongrass need much less. Check each essential oil's page.
- Always patch test a small amount of your diluted blend on the inner arm and wait 24 hours before wider use.
- Batch tip: 1% is about 1.3 ml (roughly 38 drops) of essential oil per 128 ml (about 4 oz) of carrier, so 1 gallon at 1% takes about 38 ml of essential oil.
Blends well with: Lavender, Roman Chamomile, Geranium, Jojoba Oil and Sweet Almond Oil.
Size Guide
- 128 oz (1 gallon): bulk size for soap, lotion, balm and candle makers, spas and massage studios, and small-batch brands.
- Tip: decant into smaller amber glass or PET bottles for daily use, and keep the gallon tightly capped in a cool, dark place to keep it fresh.
