50 ml · cold-pressed from Himalayan wild apricot kernels · for face and body
In the high valleys of the Himalayas, the wild apricot is used whole: the fruit is eaten, and the hard stone is cracked for its kernel, which is pressed into chuli or gutti ka tel. Hill families have used it on skin and hair for generations.
What is in the bottle
A single ingredient: cold-pressed wild apricot kernel oil. It is naturally composed of 58–74% oleic acid and 20–34% linoleic acid, with vitamin E and plant sterols. These fatty acids closely resemble the skin's own lipids, which is why the oil absorbs lightly and helps skin feel supple and comfortable.
Why this moment
Evening. Skin loses the most water in the evening, and does most of its renewal overnight. Two or three drops on the face, or a little more on the body, before bed.
Menstrual days. With oestrogen at its lowest, skin often feels drier. A little extra oil at night.
Perimenopause and beyond. As oestrogen declines, skin produces less of its own oil and loses collagen and moisture more quickly. This is when a simple, single-ingredient oil earns its place.
How to use
Warm 2–3 drops between your palms and press into clean skin at night, or massage over the body after bathing. Pairs well with our Damask Rose Water.
