Apples are picked in late summer and autumn and pressed for juice, cider and purée.
What remains is pomace, a wet mix of skins, cores and pips. Specialist processors
dry the pomace and pass it through sieves and air separators to recover the pips,
which are then pressed in small mills through the rest of the year. Apple seed oil
is pale golden with a soft, sweet, almond or marzipan-like smell. About half is 
linoleic acid, with oleic acid next and natural vitamin E, and it feels light with
a silky finish.

## Details

  |  Botanical name |  _Malus domestica_ (syn. _Pyrus malus_) |  
 |  Origin |  European orchards |  
 |  Part used |  Seed (pip) |  
 |  Extraction |  Cold-pressed |  
 |  Texture |  Light, silky |  
 |  Size |  3.4oz (100ml) |  
 |  Ingredients |  100% _Pyrus malus_ seed oil |

**Why supply is limited:** each apple holds only a few tiny pips, so large volumes
of fruit waste give only a modest amount of seed.

## How to use

 1. **Face:** press 2 to 3 drops into clean skin.
 2. **Lips:** smooth a drop over dry lips.
 3. **Hair:** rub a drop through the ends for shine.

Patch test on the inner arm before first use. Keep away from the eyes. Store somewhere
cool and dark with the cap closed.

## FAQs

The scent comes naturally from the apple seeds.

### Where do the seeds come from?

They are recovered from apple pomace left after juice and cider making.

I love this light apple seed oil for my facial skin care as well as the smooth texture
it adds to my homemade chapsticks. We are very sensitive to fragrances, but the 
natural apple seed’s light scent is perfect for what our family can handle.
