Apricare Apricot Kernels Organic Raw 500g

Apricare Apricot Kernels Organic Raw 500g contains certified organic raw apricot kernels for external cosmetic use. Supplied as a whole ingredient rather than a finished skincare product, these kernels are intended for preparing cosmetic scrubs. The 500g pack suits shoppers looking specifically for the organic version of Apricare’s raw kernels.

Do not eat — external cosmetic use only. Raw apricot kernels contain naturally occurring compounds that can release cyanide if consumed. Do not swallow them or add them to food, drinks, baking or supplements. Keep out of reach of children.

The ingredient list contains one item: 100% certified organic apricot kernels. Organic certification describes how the ingredient is produced; it does not make raw apricot kernels safe to eat. This product is not an edible snack, a nutritional supplement or apricot kernel oil. Keeping those differences clear is important when choosing ingredients for a homemade cosmetic preparation.

For topical preparation, the kernels can be ground and incorporated into a cosmetic scrub according to the product’s label directions. They are not supplied as a ready-to-apply cream or a pre-mixed exfoliator, so read the preparation instructions before beginning. Use the pack’s guidance for the intended application rather than a food recipe, and retain the packaging so the directions and warnings remain available after opening.

The 500g pack offers a single size of the organic raw ingredient, separate from the non-organic Apricare range. Check the organic product name and pack details when comparing the two listings. After use, close the pack securely, follow the storage instructions on the current label and keep it away from children. Clearly identify any prepared scrub as a cosmetic product so neither the kernels nor the finished preparation can be mistaken for something to eat.
