Bitter Himalayan Apricot Kernels 150g

Bitter Himalayan apricot kernels for homemade face masks and body scrubs — a 100% pure, single-ingredient natural exfoliant sourced directly from the Himalayan region of Pakistan, where some of the finest apricot kernels in the world are grown. These small brown kernels are the dried stones found inside apricots, and when ground they become a wonderfully effective beauty ingredient.

Simply grind the kernels using a pestle and mortar and mix with fine pink Himalayan salt, coconut oil or raw honey to create a luxurious, all-natural scrub that gently buffs away dead skin cells, leaving skin smooth, healthy and glowing. With no additives or artificial ingredients whatsoever, this is skincare stripped back to its simplest, purest form — and the resealable pouch is plastic-free.

Please note: this is a cosmetic ingredient for use in body and facial scrubs only — it is not sold as a food and is not for consumption. Bitter apricot kernels naturally contain high levels of amygdalin, above the maximum limit set by the Food Standards Agency for apricot kernels sold for human consumption.
