Where does it come from?

Apricot kernel oil is derived from the seeds of the apricot fruit (Prunus armeniaca), which is native to China but is now grown worldwide in temperate climates. The oil is extracted by cold pressing the kernels, preserving its beneficial nutrients, such as oleic acid, linoleic acid, and vitamins A and E, making it ideal for skincare applications.
