Top products pros stock without fail... are the ones that multitask harder than a salon owner during holiday season. If you’re not already familiar with Apricot Kernel Oil from Amber Products, prepare to meet your new favorite workhorse. This lightweight, nutrient-rich carrier oil is like that reliable employee who shows up early, never complains, and makes everyone look good. From massage therapy to facial treatments, this golden elixir deserves a permanent spot in your professional arsenal. Let’s dive into why this 1-gallon powerhouse belongs in every treatment room.
What makes apricot kernel oil so special? Imagine a carrier oil that’s light enough for delicate facial work but substantial enough for full-body massage. It’s like the Goldilocks of carrier oils—not too heavy, not too light, just perfect for professional applications. Rich in vitamins A and E, essential fatty acids, and oleic acid, this oil nourishes skin without leaving that greasy residue that has clients sliding off your massage table. The non-comedogenic properties mean you can use it on even the most sensitive skin types without worrying about clogged pores.
Why Your Massage Practice Needs This Oil
If you’re still using generic massage oils that leave clients feeling like they’ve been basting in the sun, it’s time for an upgrade. Apricot kernel oil glides like a dream, giving you the perfect slip for those long, flowing strokes while allowing enough grip for deeper tissue work. It’s like having your cake and eating it too—except the cake is a happy client who doesn’t feel like they need three showers afterward.
The light texture means it absorbs beautifully, leaving skin soft and nourished rather than slick and greasy. Plus, it blends wonderfully with essential oils from our aromatherapy collection, allowing you to create custom blends that elevate your treatments from basic to brilliant. And let’s be honest—anything that reduces laundry from oily sheets is a win in my book!
Facial Treatments Will Never Be the Same
Move over, expensive serums—apricot kernel oil is here to revolutionize your facial services. Its lightweight composition makes it ideal for facial treatments, especially when combined with techniques like dermaplaning or hydrodermabrasion. The vitamin A content helps promote skin regeneration, while vitamin E provides antioxidant protection. It’s basically a nutritional supplement for the skin!
Use it as a base for custom facial oils, blend it with your favorite professional skincare products, or incorporate it into your microdermabrasion aftercare. The oil’s gentle nature makes it suitable for even the most sensitive clients, including those with mature or delicate skin. And since it doesn’t interfere with product penetration, you can layer it under other treatments without compromising efficacy.
The Waxing Wonder You Didn’t Know You Needed
Here’s a pro tip that will change your waxing game forever: apricot kernel oil makes an incredible pre-and post-wax treatment. Before waxing, a thin layer protects the skin without interfering with hair removal. After waxing, its anti-inflammatory properties help calm redness while vitamins A and E support skin recovery.
Pair it with our ItalWax products and watch your client comfort levels soar. The oil works beautifully with both hard and soft wax systems, and it’s gentle enough for sensitive areas. Plus, buying in this 1-gallon size means you’ll always have enough for your waxing station without constantly reordering.
Body Treatments That Feel Like Luxury
When it comes to body services, apricot kernel oil shines brighter than a fresh set of nail rhinestones. Mix it with sugar scrubs or salt scrubs to create luxurious exfoliants that leave skin hydrated rather than stripped. The oil’>s nourishing properties help maintain the skin’s moisture barrier while the exfoliants do their work.
For ultimate indulgence, warm the oil and use it during body treatments on your heated towel steamer station. The combination of warm oil and professional technique will have clients booking their next appointment before they’ve even put their clothes back on. It’s that good.

Creative Ways to Use Apricot Kernel Oil in Your Services
Beyond the obvious applications, this versatile oil can enhance nearly every service you offer. Create custom cuticle oils by blending it with essential oils—perfect for your manicure station. Use it as a nourishing base for dry brushing treatments or as a gentle makeup remover during lash and brow services.
For hair treatments, warm the oil and use it as a pre-shampoo conditioning treatment. It helps nourish the scalp while adding shine to hair without weighing it down. The possibilities are limited only by your creativity—and possibly your state board regulations, but that’s another story!
Storage and Handling Like a Pro
With great oil comes great responsibility. Store your apricot kernel oil in a cool, dark place to maintain freshness. Consider transferring smaller amounts to dispenser bottles for daily use while keeping the bulk container properly sealed. This not only maintains oil quality but also makes your workspace more efficient.
Always use clean applicators and spatulas when dispensing oil to prevent contamination. And remember—while the oil has a good shelf life, it’s still a natural product. The 1-gallon size is perfect for busy practices but might be excessive for slower operations. Though honestly, once you discover all its uses, you’ll be surprised how quickly you go through it!
