Properties of Apple Seed Oil
Apple seed oil is distinguished by its high content of unsaturated fatty acids. Its profile is primarily dominated by:
- Linoleic acid C18:2 — 51.9%
- Oleic acid C18:1 — 35.6%
- Palmitic acid C16:0 — 6.6%
- Stearic acid C18:0 — 3.5%
- Linolenic acid C18:3 — 0.1%
Thanks to its high content of linoleic and oleic acid, the oil is well-suited for cosmetic formulations designed for dry, sensitive, mature, and regenerating skin. It helps to moisturize and smooth the skin, supports its lipid barrier, and reduces feelings of dryness. It can also be used in hair products, especially in smoothing, nourishing, and protective cosmetics.
Application
Apple seed oil is used in the production of natural, skincare, and emollient cosmetics. It can be utilized as an ingredient in:
- face and body creams,
- balms, butters, and lotions,
- massage oils,
- oil serums,
- cosmetics for dry and mature skin,
- regenerating and protective preparations,
- hair conditioners, masks, and oils,
- natural and vegan cosmetics.
The oil has a light, plant-based formula and a beneficial fatty acid profile. It can be used both as an active ingredient in the oil phase and as a base in cosmetic formulations. The product should be stored in a tightly sealed container, away from light, moisture, and heat sources.
