Apricot oil in our homemade soap: our best friend Vitamin E

Cold saponification is a traditional soap-making method that preserves the properties of the ingredients used. Among these ingredients, apricot vegetable oil stands out for its many benefits. Appreciated for decades, this precious oil is particularly beneficial for cosmetic care. This article explores in detail the virtues of apricot oil, particularly in the context of cold saponification, and explains why it is an essential choice for our“Clean Skin Kit”.

When it comes to cold saponification, our best ally is this wonderful oil I call “Apricot vegetable oil”. Produced in Europe, it offers multiple benefits in terms of its composition. To name just a few, this fine, sweet oil is a veritable time bomb of vitamins E and C, anti-wrinkle, anti-inflammatory, etc.

In the 1980s and 90s, apricot oil appeared in all cosmetics formulations. Soaps, day and night creams, shower gels, etc…. Apricot oil remained at the top of the anti-wrinkle cosmetics podium for many, many years.

In the 2000s, our friend was gradually replaced by vegetable oils that were just as effective, but less expensive, such as Avocado oil, castor oil, palm oil, etc…. All these oils from all over the world have gradually made us forget this “precious” oil.

It’s important to note that cold saponification has one major advantage! During the manufacturing process, all the properties of the vegetable oils are preserved throughout!

As you can see, we couldn’t leave out Apricot oil in our “Clean Skin Kit”. The composition of our “kit” is especially recommended for acne-prone skin, young skin and mature skin.
