Plum kernel oil, certified organic

Certified organic plum kernel oil is a luxurious, cold-pressed oil extracted from the kernels of plums. Naturally lightweight and beautifully silky on the skin, it is a favourite ingredient among formulators creating nourishing DIY skincare and haircare products.

Cold pressing helps preserve the oil’s natural fatty acid profile, resulting in a conditioning oil that absorbs easily and leaves skin feeling soft and comfortable rather than greasy.
