A bit more:

Apricot kernel oil has a special extraction process that is more complex than some other oils. First, the apricots are harvested and dried. When the fruits are half dry, the inner stone is removed by hand for further drying. Once this process has been completed, the stone must now be broken open so that the almond-like core can be accessed. The actual apricot kernel oil is extracted from this, and then the apricot kernel oil (cold-pressed) is obtained by mechanical pressing

Apricot kernel oil contains an abundance of healthy and versatile ingredients.

Oleic fatty acid (omega-9 fatty acid) is a component of the oil with up to 70%. The human body cannot produce these itself, which makes them essential. Linoleic acid (omega-6 fatty acid) can be found in apricot kernel oil with up to 25%. She is a little all-rounder. Irritated skin can calm down, contact dermatitis can be alleviated and sun-damaged skin can recover. It is also said to help reduce blackheads and reduce skin spots. It is the key in cosmetic use.

Other components are palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, tocopherol (better known as vitamin E) and sometimes traces of other B vitamins and vitamin A.
