Best of Nature Apricot Oil 100% Pure Cold-Pressed – 64 fl oz Half-Gallon, Lightweight Unscented Carrier for Skin & Hair

Best of Nature 100% Pure Apricot Oil is a lightweight, unscented carrier and body oil designed for moisturizing skin, conditioning hair, and blending with essential oils.

This half-gallon (64 fl oz) bottle contains cold-pressed apricot kernel oil that absorbs quickly without leaving a heavy residue. Sourced for purity and versatility, this oil is ideal for massage therapists, DIY skincare formulators, and anyone who wants a gentle, natural oil for daily care. It’s unscented so it won’t compete with fragrances or essential oil blends and serves as a reliable base for body, face, and hair routines.

How does this apricot oil fit into a daily skincare routine?

Use a few drops after cleansing to lock in moisture and support skin softness. Its light texture makes it suitable for layering under creams or mixing with serums. For sensitive or dry patches, it can be applied directly as a targeted emollient.

• Apply 3–5 drops to damp skin to seal hydration.
• Mix with your favorite moisturizer for extra nourishment.
• Use as a gentle makeup remover on a cotton pad.

Can I use this oil for hair and scalp care?

Yes — the oil can be used as a scalp treatment, leave-in conditioner, or hot-oil pre-wash. It helps smooth dry ends and adds a natural sheen without weighing hair down when used sparingly. For heavier hydration, combine with heavier oils or conditioners.

• Warm a small amount and massage into scalp for 10–20 minutes before shampooing.
• Apply a drop to ends to reduce frizz and add shine.
• Blend with other oils for custom hair masks.

Is this oil a good carrier for essential oils and DIY recipes?

This apricot oil is an effective carrier oil because of its neutral scent and smooth absorbency. It dilutes concentrated essential oils safely for topical use when used at the correct ratios. Ideal for homemade massage blends, body oils, and aromatherapy roll-ons.

• Use 1–3% dilution for facial blends, higher for body massage.
• Store blends in amber bottles to preserve freshness.
• Always perform a patch test before widespread application.

How should I store and use the half-gallon bottle to keep the oil fresh?

Keep the container in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat to prolong shelf life. Use a clean dropper or pour spout to avoid contamination and reseal the cap tightly after each use. For long-term use, decant into smaller bottles to minimize exposure to air.

• Store between 50–70°F (10–21°C) out of sunlight.
• Decant into smaller dark bottles for daily use.
• Use within a few months after opening for best quality.

Who is this for? Best of Nature 100% Pure Apricot Oil is suited for anyone seeking a neutral, fast-absorbing carrier oil: massage professionals, natural skincare DIYers, people with normal-to-dry skin, and those who want an unscented base for essential oil blends. It’s also a practical choice for salons and spas that use generous quantities—offering a cost-effective, multipurpose oil in a large half-gallon size. Always patch test if you have sensitive skin or nut allergies and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
