The Hydrating Benefits
of Apricot Oil for Hair

Searching for the secret to beautifully hydrated hair? Enter apricot oil! Rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals, it is a go-to ingredient in the hair care world, known for its smoothing and hydrating properties. Let's dive in and discover how it can work wonders for your locks.

What is Apricot Oil?

Indigenous to Central Asia, the apricot fruit has been cultivated for thousands of years as both a sweet source of food and a holistic medicinal ingredient. In China, apricots have long been associated with healing. One ancient story tells the tale of the legendary physician Dong Feng, who asked his patients to pay him by planting apricot trees on his land so that he could spread more health by giving more apricots to his neighbors.

Today, we love apricots and their oil for many uses – but especially haircare. Apricot oil is derived from the kernels of apricot fruits, which are bursting with vitamins C, E, B6, A, and antioxidants. When it comes to haircare, it's believed that this oil can hydrate, nourish, and soften strands. Plus, it can be used on dry scalps to nourish the skin.
