FACE

Lightest face oil

Absorbs fully in under 5 minutes without any residue. The traditional Ladakhi face oil — used in dry, high-altitude climates where skin needs real moisture.

ANTI-AGING

Anti-aging

Apply to fine lines · before sleep

Oleic acid replenishes the skin barrier that breaks down with age and sun exposure. Regular use helps the skin hold moisture longer between applications.

SENSITIVE SKIN

Sensitive skin safe

Generally gentle for sensitive skin

Non-comedogenic and cold-pressed — won't block pores or leave residue. Gentle for sensitive skin, consistent with traditional Ladakhi use in some of India's harshest climates.

HAIR

Frizz-free hair

2 drops · dry ends · no residue

2 drops worked through dry ends adds shine and tames frizz without weight. The lightest oil we make — absorbs in seconds.

What it does

Absorbs clean — suitable for all skin types

Sinks into skin within 4–5 minutes. No greasy film.
Works on oily, dry, and combination skin. Won't clog pores.
The healthy fats in this oil help keep your skin's moisture barrier strong.

🌙

Night routine

2–3 drops

On clean, slightly damp face — press in, don't rub

Light enough for the skin around your eyes

The skin around your eyes is thin and needs a light oil. This is it.
Heavier oils can clog the tiny pores around your eyes over time. Apricot oil is light enough that this is much less likely.
Use every night to help with dryness and the look of dark circles.

🌙

Every night

1 drop, ring finger

Pat softly — never pull the skin around the eye

Leave-in on ends — the lightest finishing touch for frizz and shine.

A few drops on dry hair ends prevents split ends and frizz.
Light enough to leave in without weighing hair down.
Not for scalp or roots — use almond oil for intensive hair treatments.

🚿

After washing

2–3 drops on ends

Damp hair, ends only — no rinsing needed

The lightest oil for the most reactive skin.

Non-comedogenic rating of 2 — meaning it does not clog pores and is safe for acne-prone skin. Most heavier oils (coconut, almond) sit at 4–5 on this scale and can trigger breakouts.
Its lightweight oleic and linoleic acid profile makes it suitable for many skin types, including combination and sensitive skin.
Generally considered gentle for many skin types. Apricot kernel oil has been traditionally used in Ladakh for generations, including for children's skin in extreme dry climates.

Morning or night

2–3 drops on clean, damp face. Safe for morning use under sunscreen. Non-greasy.

Day 1–3

Absorption test confirms quality

3 drops on the inner wrist. Gone in under 5 minutes. No residue, no heaviness. Cold-pressed apricot kernel oil absorbs the way your skin is designed to receive oil — fully.

Week 2–3

Under-eye area responds

Skin around the eyes may feel more hydrated with regular use. Apply 1 drop each night consistently.

Month 2+

Sustained skin quality and hair condition

Skin that receives consistent daily oil holds moisture more effectively over months. Hair ends regularly treated may appear smoother and more conditioned over the same period.

↻ Absorption quality is immediate. Skin and hair results are cumulative over weeks.

How to use

How to use it

Step 01

Pat dry but leave your skin slightly damp. Dampness helps draw the oil in.

Step 02

Rub between palms, press into skin. Don't rub. Best used at night on face.

Step 03

Pat softly around the eye. Never pull or drag. Light enough to use here without clogging pores.

Step 04

Apricot oil has a smoke point of ~216°C — suitable for light sautéing, salad dressings, and drizzling over food. Used in traditional Ladakhi cooking for centuries. A mild nutty flavour that doesn't overpower. Do not use for deep frying.

The absorption test

Put 3 drops on your inner wrist. Rub gently. Check after 5 minutes. If it sinks in fully, it's pure cold-pressed oil. Refined oils leave a greasy film.

Questions

Common questions

Test it: put 3 drops on your inner wrist. Rub gently. Check after 5 minutes. Real cold-pressed apricot kernel oil sinks in fully — no greasy residue. Refined or mineral-oil-cut versions stay on the surface.

Yes. Apricot kernel oil is the lightest of the Kashmiri oils and won't clog pores. Apply to slightly damp skin so it absorbs quickly.

Yes — this is the right oil for under-eye use. Use one drop on your ring finger and pat gently. Never pull or drag. Heavier oils like almond oil can clog the tiny pores around your eyes over time. Apricot kernel oil is light enough that this is much less likely.

2–3 drops per use. If used only on the face and under-eye, a 200ml bottle lasts 4–6 months with daily use.

Apricot kernel oil is lighter — absorbs faster, works for all skin types, safe for under-eye. Almond oil is heavier, much richer in Vitamin E, and better for dry skin, baby massage, and intensive hair treatment. Dry skin? Go almond oil. Combination or oily skin? Start with apricot kernel oil.

Yes — specifically for fine, dry, or brittle hair. Apricot kernel oil is the lightest of the Kashmir oils and won't weigh hair down. Apply 3–4 drops to towel-dried hair ends to reduce frizz and breakage. For a conditioning treatment, work into dry hair from mid-length down, leave for 30–60 minutes, then shampoo out. It won't act as a growth stimulant — but it reduces the breakage that makes hair look thin. It is light enough to use daily without buildup.

Yes — apricot oil is one of the few oils genuinely safe for acne-prone skin. Its non-comedogenic rating of 2 means it does not block pores. The oleic and linoleic acid profile mimics the skin's natural sebum, which actually helps regulate excess oil production rather than adding to it. Start with 1–2 drops on a small area to test, then use on full face once confirmed no reaction.

Yes. Apricot oil has a smoke point of ~216°C — suitable for light sautéing, salad dressings, and drizzling. It has a mild, slightly nutty flavour. Used in Ladakhi cooking traditionally. Not suitable for deep frying or high-heat cooking. The nutritional profile (Vitamin E, oleic acid) is preserved best when used cold or at low heat.
