Apple seed oil is beneficial for skin care for several reasons:
Moisturizing Properties: Apple seed oil is rich in fatty acids, such as oleic and linoleic acids, which are known for their moisturizing and nourishing properties. These fatty acids help to strengthen the skin's barrier, retaining moisture and keeping the skin hydrated.
Antioxidant Content: It contains natural antioxidants, including vitamin E and polyphenols. These antioxidants help protect the skin from environmental stressors such as pollution and UV radiation, which can lead to premature aging.
Skin Elasticity: Apple seed oil's emollient properties can improve skin elasticity, making the skin look firmer and more youthful.
Promotion of Clear Skin: The oil has been noted for its ability to promote a healthy and clear complexion, possibly due to its gentle and non-irritating properties, making it suitable for even sensitive skin types.
Collagen Production: Some studies suggest that apple seed oil, due to its nutrient-rich composition, may help promote collagen production, further aiding in skin renewal and rejuvenation.
Properties nutritional while promoting soft and supple skin, gentle, sweet aroma, rich in antioxidants, encourages cell renewal.

Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please keep your products out of humidity, heat, direct light and in a dark cabinet when possible:
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark:
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it into a separate,sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally, you can refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take it out, warm it up at room temperature and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. There are some oils with a super long shelf life, like Coconut Cream and Jojoba Oil.
Refrigeration is not necessary, but it surely won't hurt:
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs - all herbs (whole or ground) should be kept in a dark, cool and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts - these are created using alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herbs - root, trunk, leaves, and flowers. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be kept in the refrigerator or a dark place. Other Raw Ingredients - i.e., Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc. will all have a different shelf life.
