Apricot Bitter Kernel Meal Bitter Apricot Kernel Powder, 7 oz — Organic Bulgarian, Gentle Exfoliant & Skin-Nourishing

Harvested from organically grown Bulgarian apricot seeds and milled without metal contact, this 7 oz bitter apricot kernel powder preserves its natural profile of fatty acids, proteins, vitamins and minerals. The texture is mostly smooth with some lightly grittier granules, making it versatile for both standalone scrubs and as a texturizing additive in soaps, balms and lotions. The powder is non-GMO and free from common allergens and additives, so it’s easy to incorporate into clean-beauty routines.

How will this powder change my skincare routine?

The powder adds mechanical exfoliation and gentle textural lift to cleansers and scrubs, helping remove dead skin cells and refresh the complexion without harsh chemicals. Because it contains naturally occurring fatty acids and nutrients, it supports hydration when blended into oils or creams.

• Use as a gentle facial scrub to slough off dead cells and smooth skin surface.
• Mix with carrier oils or honey to create hydrating, nourishing masks.
• Add to soap batches for a natural grit that enhances body scrubs.
• Works with all skin types when used at appropriate concentrations.

What texture and particle size should I expect?

The meal is primarily finely ground with occasional, slightly coarser granules that provide tactile exfoliation. Its consistency makes it easy to suspend in liquids or to blend into thicker pastes for targeted application.

• Smooth base suitable for facial use with mild grit for mechanical exfoliation.
• Blends well with oats, clays, or honey for custom formulations.
• Stable when mixed into oil-based balms or solid soap bars.
