Plum oil

Plum kernel oil, extracted from plum kernels, has a light texture and is rapidly absorbed by the skin. Its golden hue and subtle fragrance make it a valued cosmetic ingredient. Rich in antioxidants, it remains relatively stable but should be stored away from heat and light. Learn more about it below.
