Peach oil for face - benefits and applications

Peach oil is a natural cosmetic product that has been used in cosmetology for a long time. Even the beauties of the Middle Ages applied a squeeze of peach seeds to their face to improve color and preserve youthful skin.

In modern industry, peach oil is prepared from peach seeds by first cold pressing. In a mechanical press, the fruit kernels are crushed by squeezing the liquid. The resulting product is filtered, removing residual raw materials, and insist for several hours. The squeeze is an oily suspension of light yellow color, with a mild taste and a characteristic odor. Peach oil is enriched with vitamins and minerals, as a result of which it has become widespread in cosmetology, perfumery, and medicine. Due to its consistency, peach oil is an excellent base for creams, masks, lotions and face balms.
