Apricot oil is known to be an effective emollient as it is easily absorbed into the skin and may promote skin softness and elasticity. It is used to formulate a variety of bath and body products to condition and provide stable lather to soap formulas. Traditionally, this oil has been used regularly in massage therapy to soften the skin. Virgin organic apricot kernel oil is relatively stable due to its higher concentration of vital essential fatty acids.
