Cherry Kernel Oil

Whatsapp Order

 Cherry Kernel Oil, extracted from the seeds of sweet cherries (Prunus avium), is a lightweight, golden-yellow carrier oil with a mild, nutty aroma. This oil is produced through cold pressing of cherry kernels and is rich in oleic and linoleic acids, along with naturally occurring tocopherols (Vitamin E) and phytosterols. Known for its excellent emollient, antioxidant, and regenerative properties, it absorbs quickly and nourishes the skin without leaving a greasy residue.

It is widely used in skin care, hair care, baby products, and aromatherapy. Its gentle nature makes it suitable for sensitive and mature skin, while its light texture and stability make it a favored base oil in cosmetic formulations, massage blends, and eco-conscious personal care lines.
