skin benefits
Discover the transformative power of my freshly made Organic Apricot Seed & Kernel Infusion in MCT Oil, meticulously macerated for over 8 weeks to unlock a symphony of skin-nourishing benefits. Organically and locally grown apricots from right here in the BC Okanagan yield cracked kernels—rich in B17 (amygdalin), as well as a whole food source of a good source of vitamin e, zinc, calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, and essential fatty acids like oleic and linoleic—that release their potent antioxidants and bioactive compounds deep into the carrier MCT oil, creating a lipid-soluble elixir that mirrors your skin’s natural sebum for superior barrier repair. This extended maceration ensures maximum extraction, delivering deep hydration without pore-clogging, while combating free radicals to soothe inflammation, fade fine lines, and promote a radiant, resilient complexion ideal for corneotherapy protocols.
Beyond moisture, this artisanal infusion—crafted fresh in small batches by my one-woman operation—supports cellular renewal and oxidative stress defense, helping to calm acne-prone or eczema-irritated skin with its gentle, anti-inflammatory profile. The MCT base enhances absorption and stability, making it a versatile addition to your clean beauty routine—whether as a facial oil, massage serum, or booster in custom formulations. Sourced from BC Okanagan organic apricots, it embodies holistic wellness from the inside out, aligning perfectly with natural skincare that nurtures both skin and senses
whole body benefits
In alternative health circles, whole food B17 (amygdalin) from sources like apricot kernels is touted for several brain benefits when supplemented cautiously in low doses. Proponents claim it crosses the blood-brain barrier, exerting neuroprotective effects by reducing neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, which may help alleviate brain fog, enhance mental clarity, and support neurotransmitter balance.
key brain benefits
-
Neuroprotection: Said to shield neurons from free radical damage and amyloid plaque buildup, potentially slowing age-related cognitive decline.
-
Anti-inflammatory Action: Inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-alpha and IL-1beta in microglial cells, easing chronic brain inflammation linked to fatigue and mood issues.
- Pain and Nerve Support: Offers analgesic effects via ERK pathway activation and neurotrophic support, aiding nerve repair in holistic protocols.
 nervous system benefits
dysregulated nervous system after 50 often means your nerves feel “stuck in overdrive”—think chronic stress, shaky hands, tingling pains, poor sleep, or that wired-but-tired exhaustion from inflammation wearing down nerve coatings like frayed wires.
Apricot kernel infusion in MCT oil offers gentle microdosing relief: the B17 and kernel oils calm overactive nerves by dialing down inflammatory signals (like tiny fire alarms in your spine and brain), easing nerve pain and sensitivity without overwhelming your body. MCT provides quick brain fuel (ketones) to repair and insulate nerves better, helping restore calm focus, steadier energy, and deeper rest—much like oiling rusty hinges for smoother daily function.
liver health benefits
Your liver works like your body’s main detox filter, but after 50, everyday toxins, poor diet, or stress can clog it up, causing fatigue, bloating, or foggy thinking from built-up inflammation and oxidative damage.
Microdosing apricot kernel in MCT oil gently supports liver health by acting as a natural cleanup crew: the B17 and antioxidants help neutralize harmful free radicals (like rust on pipes), lower inflammation markers, and boost your liver’s own defense enzymes to process fats and toxins more smoothly. This can ease that sluggish feeling, improve energy flow, and protect against fatty buildup—think of it as a soft reset for better digestion and whole-body vitality, perfectly suiting low-dose use in your infusion (1-2 drops daily).
dosage
1 drop = 4mg organic b17
2 drops = 8mg organic b17
If you choose a dosage of 2 drops or 8mg per day one bottle will last 200 days.
A few drops can be added to a glass of water. To use on the skin a few drops can be blended into your favourite facial oil or moisturizer. The drops are formulated for both internal and transdermal use, as they do not contain glycerin or alcohol. These drops can be taken orally and transdermally because both routes allow for effective absorption of nicotine into the bloodstream. When taken orally, these bioactive compounds in the drops are absorbed through the mucous membranes in the mouth and digestive tract. Apple cider vinegar acts as an efficient carrier for these lipid-soluble molecules, enhancing bioavailability. When used transdermally, these bioactive compounds can penetrate the skin barrier and enter systemic circulation, with MCT oil facilitating absorption by maintaining skin hydration and improving permeability.
benefits of MCT oil-infused herbal tinctures
Superior Absorption:Â MCT (medium-chain triglyceride) oil is rapidly and efficiently absorbed by the body, helping to deliver fat-soluble herbal compounds (like cannabinoids, terpenes, and fat-soluble vitamins) more effectively into the bloodstream.
Quick Metabolism and Onset:Â MCT oil, derived mainly from coconut oil, is metabolized quickly and provides fast-acting support without accumulating as fat, facilitating quicker onset of effects than glycerin for certain actives.
Longer Shelf Life: Oil-based tinctures—especially those using MCT oil—tend to be less prone to microbial growth, oxidation, or spoilage, outlasting glycerin-based formulas, which are more sensitive to moisture and contamination.
Neutral Taste:Â MCT oil is nearly tasteless and odorless, making it ideal for those wanting a minimal-flavor tincture. Glycerin is sweet, which some may prefer, but can overwhelm delicate herbal flavors.
Cleaner Ingredient Profile:Â MCT oils are often processed with fewer chemical additives compared to some commercial vegetable glycerins, which may come from mixed and not always sustainably sourced crops.
