Manufactum apricot kernel oil

Because of its skin-tightening properties, the light oil is well suited for the care of face, neck and décolleté. It is quickly absorbed, is very well tolerated and can have a balancing effect on wrinkles under the eyes when used for a long time. Due to its amygdalin content, it supports the skin's moisture balance, especially when applied to skin that is still slightly damp. Thanks to its tissue-nourishing properties, this oil is also suitable for abdominal care in pregnant women or as a massage oil; a pack of apricot kernel oil nourishes damaged hair and brittle tips and restores shine and fullness.

We have developed a body care series according to our specifications and are cooperating for this project with two pharmacists from North Rhine-Westphalia. Based on well-thought-out recipes, all products of the series comply with our maxim: reduced to the essentials. Our partners see to it that the products of our series solely contain what serves the particular purpose. Moreover, although they are no pharmaceutical preparations, most of their ingredients – somewhat unusual for body care products – are of pharmacopoeia quality according to the current German and European Pharmacopoeia; both officinal collections set high standards in terms of purity, enrichment and freshness. Our range of products is small but well-considered, and we add only a few articles each year. Partly, the formulations derive from old officinal formulae and antiquarian pharmacopoeias; partly, we present new in-house developments based on proven elements and compounds. We attach great importance to natural ingredients and therefore completely dispense with petrochemical-based raw materials as well as synthetic fragrances, dyes and preservatives.
