Apricot Kernel Butter – Unrefined / Virgin Source Oil

RidhSa Lipids Apricot Kernel Butter – Unrefined / Virgin Source Oil is a derived cosmetic butter formulated with virgin apricot kernel oil from Prunus armeniaca and an identified structuring lipid system. Apricot kernel oil is normally liquid at room temperature, so the finished butter consistency is created by blending with appropriate cosmetic-grade fats or waxes rather than by extracting a naturally solid apricot fat. Virgin source oil may retain more natural colour, aroma and minor constituents than refined oil, subject to extraction and handling. The butter provides emollience and texture for body butters, balms, creams and hair-care products. The supplier should confirm the complete INCI, apricot oil percentage, structuring ingredients, source origin, oxidative stability and finished melting range. Kernel processing and contaminant controls, including relevant cyanogenic-compound risks, must be appropriate for cosmetic use.

Overview

Botanical Name	Prunus armeniaca L. (apricot); source oil from kernels
Cas#	72869-69-3 is sometimes listed for apricot kernel oil; verify the applicable source-oil CAS and complete finished-blend SDS/INCI with the supplier.
Color	Ivory to pale yellow or light golden, depending on virgin source oil and structuring ingredients.
Method Of Extraction	Virgin apricot kernel oil is mechanically pressed from prepared kernels and filtered without subsequent chemical refining, then blended with identified cosmetic-grade structuring lipids under controlled mixing and cooling.
Constituents	Apricot kernel oil contains triglycerides predominantly rich in oleic and linoleic fatty-acid residues, with smaller palmitic and stearic fractions and variable minor constituents. Finished butter composition depends on the declared structuring lipids.
Solubility	Insoluble in water; blends with compatible oils and melted fats; exact solubility and dispersion depend on the complete formulation.
Specific Gravity	No universal density specification for the structured butter; measure the actual blend at a defined temperature.
Flash Point	Not routinely determined for the finished cosmetic butter; obtain a method-specific measured result if required.

Benefits

Provides emollience and a smooth skin feel; helps reduce moisture loss; supports spreadability in skin and hair formulations; structuring lipids add body to balms and solid moisturizers.

Uses

Body butters, moisturizers, lip balms, lotion bars, hand and foot creams, massage bars, hair masks, conditioners and customized cosmetic lipid blends.

Is apricot kernel butter naturally solid?

No. Apricot kernel oil is generally liquid, and commercial cosmetic butter typically uses additional structuring lipids.

Does unrefined describe every ingredient?

No. The term describes the virgin apricot kernel source oil; the processing status of other ingredients must be declared separately.

Is the source oil always cold-pressed?

Not necessarily. Confirm the pressing conditions before making a cold-pressed claim.

Are there special quality considerations for apricot kernels?

Yes. Appropriate processing and contaminant controls should address relevant cyanogenic-compound risks and other ingredient-quality requirements.

What are the INCI and melting point?

Both depend on the complete blend; request the formulation-specific INCI declaration and measured finished-butter melting range.
