This luxurious USDA-NOP certified organic cold-pressed virgin cherry kernel oil is naturally cultivated in the lush orchards of Turkey, where the cherry seeds are carefully harvested at peak ripeness. The oil is extracted gently from the kernels of the Prunus avium fruit using a cold-pressing method that preserves its delicate nutrients and aromatic qualities. After extraction, it is lightly filtered to ensure purity, resulting in a beautifully clear oil with a soft, golden yellow hue. The aroma is subtly inviting, blending sweet, fruity notes with hints of nuttiness and berry undertones that evoke the sensation of savoring a decadent dessert with each gentle whiff. Its rich, naturally derived scent and vibrant appearance make it a prized ingredient for skincare uses that celebrate purity and quality.
The sweet Cherry tree takes about 3 to 4 years to produce its first crop. At seven years, it reaches its maturity period and produces its finest yields, and thus its finest oil.
Rich in vitamins A and E, Cherry Kernel Virgin oil is a regenerative oil that is used ideally for mature and dry skin types. It contains antioxidants, delta, alpha, and gamma tocopherols to restore elasticity and firm the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Its balanced essential fatty acid composition of linoleic acid and oleic acids, make it non-comedogenic for blemish-prone skin types.
Cherry Kernel oil is stable, with a long shelf life of 3 years when housed in cold and dark storage conditions.
