Plum kernel oil, certified organic

Certified organic plum kernel oil is a luxurious, cold-pressed oil extracted from the kernels of plums. Naturally lightweight and beautifully silky on the skin, it is a favourite ingredient among formulators creating nourishing DIY skincare and haircare products.

Cold pressing helps preserve the oil’s natural fatty acid profile, resulting in a conditioning oil that absorbs easily and leaves skin feeling soft and comfortable rather than greasy.

Skincare Uses

Lightweight and fast absorbing
Plum kernel oil has a light texture that sinks into the skin quickly, making it a popular addition to facial oils, serums and moisturisers.

Skin conditioning
Naturally rich in essential fatty acids, it is commonly used in formulations designed to help maintain soft, smooth-feeling skin.

Elegant feel in formulations
Its silky texture makes it a useful oil for balancing heavier ingredients in creams, balms and serums.

Haircare Uses

Hair conditioning
Plum kernel oil is often included in hair oils and masks to help soften the feel of the hair and improve manageability.

Scalp-friendly formulations
Its mild nature makes it suitable for use in gentle scalp oils and treatments.

Formulation Ideas

Plum kernel oil is a versatile cosmetic ingredient that works well in a wide range of DIY products, including:

Facial oils and serums
Creams and lotions
Hair oils and masks
Balms and oil cleansers

Note: Individual responses may vary. A patch test is recommended before use, particularly for those with sensitivities to stone fruits.
