Apricots in skincare.. really? 

Everyone loves them because of how good they taste, but have you ever thought about all the benefits apricots could have if you included them in your skincare?
The apricot seed is rich in essential fatty acids (oleic, linoleic, omega-6s, omega-3s), vitamins A and E, and it is most densely packed with B17.

Made with 50% oil, it deeply moisturises and nourishes dry and mature skin. Vitamin A makes skin soft and smooth and Vitamin E and B17 boost the skin’s ability to retain elasticity and clarity by helping to protect cells from damaging free radicals (such as environmental pollutants), promoting skin cell regeneration and a more radiant and even complexion. 

IJO scrubs use super finely grounded seeds to exfoliate delicately. 

Apricot kernels nourish the skin and lower the appearance of face wrinkles, fine lines and blemishes. The soft grit-texture you will find in IJO scrubs it’s given by this finely grounded seed that, combined with Blueberry extract, Almond Oil and other hero ingredients, create a delicately mild, natural, biodegradable exfoliating blend suitable even for those with the most sensitive skin.

Also, the kernel naturally gives the scrub a smell of bitter crispy almonds, just like Italian amarettos. YUM.
