Cherry Kernel Oil is naturally high in Oleic and Linolenic fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamin A and E content, and natural tocopherols. Due to its natural tocopherol content, it is relatively stable and has become a popular material used in skin, nail, and hair formulations such as lotions, balms, face serums, creams, and other topical beauty care products. It is similar to Sweet Almond, however, it has a less 'fatty' feel making it much more useful for skin care. The high amount of antioxidants, Oleic acid, and natural emollient results in improvements to dry skin and refinement in large pores. Oleic acid (Omega-9) which is found in abundance in Cherry Kernel oil helps maintain healthy hair and can prevent the build-up of dandruff.
