apricot kernal oil/nut allergy?

[Guest guest]

Hello, this subject may be a cross post for some but I need more information. I

have been told that apricot kernel oil may be a nut oil. If anyone is up on nut

allergy's could you please tell me if this would cause a reaction? Thanks.

The apricot kernel oil is from the seed or pit of the apricot from what

I understand and is not technically a nut. My youngest who is 7 has

allergies to nuts and nut oils and has not had any problems with soaps

and lotions I've made with this apricot kernel oil. I guess the only

way to know if your allergic to any specific ingredient is to be exposed

to it. If you want to try it out I would just apply it on a small area

like on the back of your hand and keep benadryl on hand. When I have

to do a skin patch on a client to see if they are allergic to hair dies

before I color their hair I do a skin patch test on the inside fold of

their arm by putting the hair colorant I'm going to use on a cotton ball

and blotting it. Keeping a close eye on their skin for a reaction to

the dyes. I'm sure the same technique can be used for oils and such to

check for allergic reactions.

Almonds are the kernal of a fruit quite closely related to the apricot. I

am not an expert, but I would expect that if someone is allergic to almonds

they would be allergic to apricot kernals.
