PRUNUS ARMENIACA KERNEL OIL
Is PRUNUS ARMENIACA KERNEL OIL safe for seborrheic dermatitis?
There is not enough direct evidence to call Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil clearly safe or unsafe for seborrheic dermatitis. It is an emollient that softens skin, not a proven treatment.
Apricot kernel oils are typically rich in oleic and linoleic acids, so a strict Malassezia-conscious routine may choose to avoid the oil. That is a cautious theoretical screen: laboratory work on free fatty acids did not test this triglyceride oil, a finished product or people with seb derm. Cultivar, processing, concentration and personal response can all change the result.
