Product Description:

Apricot Oil is a cold pressed carrier oil extracted from the kernels of the apricot fruit (Prunus armeniaca), a fruit long valued across the Mediterranean, Central Asia, and South Asia for both its flesh and its nutrient rich seed. The oil is light gold in colour with a mild, faintly sweet scent and a fine, fast absorbing texture that suits all skin types. Apricot Oil is often compared to sweet almond oil for its gentle nature, while being slightly lighter on the skin, making it a favourite among formulators working on sensitive skin or facial care lines. At Maduras Herbals, we supply Apricot Oil as a raw material for cosmetic manufacturers, DIY formulators, hair care brands, and skin care product developers looking for a light, versatile carrier oil from India.

About Apricot Kernel Oil

Apricot kernel oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of the apricot tree (Prunus armeniaca) — though it can also be solvent-extracted, the cold-pressed version is the one worth specifying, since pressing keeps more of the oil's natural composition intact. It's light and fast-absorbing, gentle enough to suit nearly every skin type, sensitive skin included.

Its fatty acid profile sits close to sweet almond oil, which makes it a handy substitute for formulators working around nut allergies while still delivering similar softening, moisturising benefits for skin and hair — though it typically costs more than almond oil to source. Where it pulls ahead is in its blend of phytosterols, tocopherols, and beta-carotene, a combination linked to better skin elasticity and tone, and a visible softening of fine lines and other early signs of ageing over time. That versatility is why it turns up so often as the emollient backbone across a wide range of skin and hair formulations.

Fun with a late blooming omega
Format: Kindle
I like this book. The story is fun, cute, and sexy. There's just a little drama, some excellent, steamy scenes, and a fairly good relationship building storyline. I especially like how all the main characters are a bit older than the usual 20 somethings I tend to see in this kind of book. Having said that, I wish there were more descriptions of the places, as well as the food in the fancy restaurant. I enjoyed the cocktails at the club, so I missed that kind of detail when Gray took Madison on a dinner date. I also wish there had been more interaction between Lucas and Madison, and Lucas and Rian. It felt a bit lopsided, with a focus on Rian, Madison, and Gray. I wish it had been proofread - there are a lot of typos, but nothing too distracting.

Madison Deserved Better
Format: Kindle
Madison was a beta...except she wasn't any longer. She was a late presenting Omega. And she was struggling. She was tall and thin, not tiny and curvy. She was opinionated. She was everything an Omega was not. After suffering through her first heat, her friends took her to Ardor, a club where Omegas came to safely find Alphas. She's not expecting much but then she connects with a sexy beta. And when she meets his Alphas, they set her body on fire. Maybe, she's found her no-strings-attached heat pack. Maybe, she's found something more. I could not connect with the characters in this book, so their story never resonated with me. And there was no love story; there was sex. Grey made it clear from the beginning that he had a true love and it was his beta boy, Rian. He went so far as to reassure Rian “Say the word, I’ll never touch her again. Lucas can put the babies in her. I only need you, beta boy”. So, Madison was there for babies, no emotions needed. Nice. No, thank you. I want the Omega to be the center of their world, not an incubator. Lucas and Rian weren't any better. After her heat, they let her leave. Not one of them made her feel valued. No one gave her a reason to stay or even offered a cuddle. And the sex didn't even come across as mind-blowing. Madison deserved better.

Pretty Darn Good
Format: Kindle
So I’ve been on a omega kick and this definitely hit the spot. Madison was frustrating at times with how she acted towards Lucas, Gray, and Rian. It was like she said towards the end, she didn’t believe she deserved nice things. It would have been nice to hear from her best friends again. They kind of were there in the beginning and the gone except for mention of text messages received from them. I feel like her friends would have been great help in encouraging Madison to go with the pack and never give Brent another chance because he was toxic. I loved Rian. His personality was awesome. His humor. His ability to make Madison comfortable whenever she was feeling overwhelmed. And the fact he fell for her and she fell for him first. They are cute together. I do feel like Lucas was the odd man out though. Like Lucas didn’t develop as much of a relationship with Madison. I would have really liked to see more development in the relationship between them. It was also the same with him and Rian. There is really no relationship displayed. Most of the relationship being displayed is between Rian and Gray. Nevertheless, I loved reading about the dynamic that came to fruition during the entirety of this story. Madison finally got her happiness. And Brent finally got punched in the face. Everyone got exactly what they deserve.
