Organic Plum Kernel Oil, Cold-Pressed

Organic Plum kernel oil, cold-pressed

Our organic plum kernel oil has a pale yellow color and a characteristic marzipan aroma.

Organic plum kernel oil is used in natural cosmetics due to its sensory profile and fatty acid composition. Cold-pressed plum oil is extracted from the pits of ripe plums and has a light texture, allowing it to be quickly absorbed by the skin.

Frequently used in skincare formulas, organic plum oil is suitable for various skin types, especially dry, sensitive, and mature skin. It is also suitable for sensitive combination skin, as it provides skin care benefits without leaving a greasy feeling.

Only the pits of fully ripe fruits are used to extract the oil. First, the pulp is removed, and the pits are washed and split open. After separating the pits from their hard shells and drying them, the pits are cold-pressed. The resulting oil is then filtered. We also offer organic plum oil for the food industry.

Plum kernel oil is extracted from the kernels of these fruits and is a niche vegetable oil used in both natural cosmetics and certain food applications. Plum kernel oil is prized for its light texture and delicate aroma, similar to that of marzipan.
