Peach Kernel Fixed Oil

Peach kernel cold-pressed oil (Prunus persica) delivers a versatile carrier oil combining excellent cosmetic functionality with a delicate, sweet aroma characteristic of stone fruits. This pale yellow to golden oil absorbs readily without leaving residue.

Functional Properties

The fatty acid composition closely resembles apricot kernel oil: oleic acid (55–75%) dominates, providing deep moisturization and barrier support. Linoleic acid (15–30%) supplies essential fatty acids for skin health. The tocopherol fraction provides natural oxidative stability, while phytosterols including β-sitosterol and campesterol contribute skin-conditioning properties. The oil's affinity for human sebum lipids enables deep penetration and effective delivery of lipophilic actives.

Quality

Cold pressing preserves the complete nutrient profile without thermal degradation or solvent residues. Low free fatty acid content indicates fresh, properly processed oil. Complies with cosmetic-grade specifications for heavy metals and pesticides.
