Apricot Oil is squeezed from the seeds of the Apricot tree. The true origin of this tree is still debatable but it is also believed that apricot is native to Armenia, the
Himalayas, and China. Traditionally the oil was used in Chinese medicine to treat swelling, ulcers, tumours, etc. However, even in Ayurveda use of apricot oil became popular due to its enormous therapeutic benefits for dry skin, hair loss, blemishes, symptoms of skin aging, and several internal health conditions. The oil is similar to peach oil and almond oil but its benefits are much more than its blind replacement for these two oils.
The oil is loaded with a lot of significant nutrients just as iron, magnesium, potassium, sodium, omega 6, copper, vitamin B2, B3, C, D, E, and many more. Discovering the benefits of Apricot Oil, the cosmetic industry decided to use it in exotic beauty rituals. As of now Apricot oil is one of the leading essential oil in the market and is used/accepted by many salons and spas.
