Ingredients... Apricot Kernel Oil

Apricot Kernel Oil is well known for its gentle nature and is widely used in the skin care industry for massage products, soap and lotion making, bath products, and lip care.  Rich in moisturizing and conditioning fatty acids like oleic and linoleic, this light, nicely absorbing oil is ideal for those with dry, irritated, mature and sensitive skin types. It is high in minerals, as well as vitamins A and E and has been reported to help skin healing and provide itch relief.  The oil is light and easily absorbed because it resembles the skin's naturally-produced oil sebum. This oil helps to improve skin tone while maintaining touchable softness and visible radiance of the skin. It also nourishes the skin and lowers the appearance of face wrinkles, fine lines, and blemishes.

Apricot kernel oil is extracted from the kernels (seeds) of apricots. The oil can be obtained by using either solvent extraction or a cold pressed method.  In bar soap, apricot kernel oil provides a touch of hardness to each bar while contributing to the creamy lather providing luxurious conditioning for the skin. In lotion and scrub formulations, the oil provides pampering nourishment for your skin.  Additionally, using this oil in lip balms assists the balm in gliding across your lips then softening and protecting them from being dry or cracked thereby leaving your lips soft and luscious.  When used in bath products, apricot kernel oil sinks deep into the skin for all over conditioning.

Apricot kernel oil may be found in the Summer and Winter recipes of Mossy's products.

Summer on the Deep Fork River

This is the second of four limited edition soaps made with goat milk paying homage to the Deep Fork River in Oklahoma.  This aromatic blend of orange citrus, fresh marine notes, summer rose, peaches, pineapple, jasmine flowers, wood, and cut grass is sure to bring a sense of happiness and freedom.  Natures Garden's breezes and sunshine fragrance begins with top notes of blood orange blossoms and sea waves; followed by rose, and sitting on base notes of sea lily flowers and woody notes.  Colored to remind us of Summer's grassy borders along a flowing river.

Our community, Wellston, is located on the banks of the Deep Fork River and has been an established trading post since 1883. Wellston was a part of the Ozark Trails Highway, an early system of important roads linking Tulsa and Oklahoma City.  Also, Wellston is unique along the Historic Route 66 passage as it is a "Loop and Gap" town.

Made using the Summer recipe including goat milk, coconut oil, mango butter, olive oil, sodium hydroxide, abyssinian seed oil, apricot kernel oil, sweet almond oil, fragrance, and mica colorant.  Scented with Breezes and Sunshine fragrance from Nature's Garden.  Colored with titanium dioxide, Key West Blue mica from Mad Micas and Laurel Green mica from Nurture Soap.

One of four limited edition soaps.

For more information about Wellston please visit the Oklahoma Historical Society.  For more information on Wellston's Route 66 connection, please visit The Route-66Legends of America, and Oklahoma Route 66.  For more about the Ozark Trails Highway visit the Oklahoma Historical Society.
