| Notes | Origin and production: Peach kernedls (Prunus persica) contain about 40% fatty oil which is gained by mechanical pressing and filtration. A subsequent full-refining step produces refined Peach Kernel Oil. The viscous clear oil is of a light-yellow to ochre colour with a typical mild odour and taste. Storage: Light protected, not above room temperature, in tightly sealed containers (nitrogen blanketed). Usage: Peach Kernel Oil is used in the cosmetic industry as a base oil for skin oils and creams. It offers very stable characteristics (low rancidity). Likewise, Peach Kernel Oil is used in pharmaceutical preparations (see almond oil) as a delicate edible oil. |
