Apricot Oil for :Skin care oils
	Apricot oil is used as a substitute for Oil of Almonds, which it very closely resembles. It is far less expensive and finds considerable employment in cosmetics, for its softening action on the skin. It is often fraudulently added to genuine Almond oil and used in the manufacture of soaps, cold creams and other preparations of the perfumery trade. Maud Grieve, Modern Herbal Vol 1 (1931)

Plant Description

A hardy tree, bearing stone fruit, closely related to the peach.
