The plums are harvested in August/September with the kernels being incredibly hard little cookies which need to be broken down by a mechanical hammer to obtain the seeds (small kernels), which contain around 20% oil. These are then cold-pressed without the use of external heat, chemicals or solvents.

The oil produced is golden and very aromatic. Rich in oleic acid (60-80%), linoleic acid (15-25%), alpha tocopherols (vitamin E), vitamin B, pro-vitamin B5 (beta-carotene) and beta sito-sterols which gives the oil excellent moisturising properties and great stability.

The smell is heavenly - the neat oil is intensely aromatic, having a rich, almond, marzipan-like aroma. Secondly, it has to be one of the quickest oils to absorb into the skin that I personally have ever experienced and leaves the skin feeling lovely and soft but not at all oily. This aspect alone make it perfect as a plain unfragranced bar... but with a natural fragrance..... yummy!!!
