Yes, apricot oil is an excellent carrier oil for making hair ointments because it’s both light and utterly unsaturated. It’s well suited for people with oily scalps because it won’t easily go rancid due to the high levels of anti-oxidants found in this fruit. Regarding its properties as a carrier oil, Apricot Kernel Oil is light weight and does not feel very greasy or heavy on the skin or hair. In addition, Apricot Kernel Oil has a lower molecular weight than most oils which allows penetration into roots more effectively and relieves dryness of hair caused by scalp inflammation.
