General information on apricot kernel powder in skin care products

The apricot kernel powder is compatible with anionic and cationic surfactants, which means it has the ability to remove dirt from surfaces such as the human skin when dissolved in water.  It is non ionic and helps to promote clear and healthy looking skin.  Apricot facial scrub removes impurities and has a pleasant almond like odor.

 When you make apricot hand and facial scrub by finely grinding the kernels at home, it is a gentle natural exfoliant and acts as a mild abrasive that gently exfoliates the skin without any scraping or damage.   We sell the pre- ground kernels or the whole kernels for this purpose.
