Ingredients Details
Apricot Kernel Oil
Common Name(s): Apricot kernel oil,botanical carrier oil,emollient fatty acid delivery
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Softens and conditions skin by integrating into sc lipid bilayers, delivers essential fatty acids (oleic, linoleic, linolenic) for barrier lipid synthesis, and provides rich, non-stripping moisturisation.
Why It's Used: Natural carrier oils provide the closest compositional match to endogenous sc lipids, delivering emolliency through genuine barrier integration rather than simple surface occlusion.
How It Works: Fatty acid triglycerides partition into sc lipid bilayers โ oleic acid (c18:1) provides fluid, emollient integration; linoleic acid (c18:2) acts as essential ceramide precursor; saturated fatty acids provide more occlusive barrier reinforcement.
Typically Found In: Moisturisers,facial oils,natural skin care

SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Essential fatty acids โ linoleic (c18:2, n-6) and ฮฑ-linolenic (c18:3, n-3) acids โ cannot be synthesised by the body; topical delivery through carrier oils provides direct substrate for ceramide and eicosanoid biosynthesis in the epidermis.

SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Olive squalane's origin verification via carbon-14 isotope dating (plant carbon has different ยนโดc signature than petrochemical carbon which has no ยนโดc from being geologically old) provides scientific authenticity validation โ an absolute verification method distinguishing genuine plant-derived from petroleum-derived squalane that cannot be falsified by adulteration.
