"Unlike some oils that remain on the surface of the skin, apricot kernel oil is readily absorbed without leaving a greasy residue. If you tend to experience dry, itchy skin after bathing or showering, this is the perfect oil to lightly apply to damp skin before toweling off. "

"Apricot kernel oil is rich in fatty acids and vitamins A, C and E. This makes the oil highly nutritious. The oil is also commonly used in the cosmetics industry in the production of various personal care products, particularly skin care formulas. Apricot kernel oil is also used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat inflammatory skin disorders, often in combination with other botanical materials."

If you google it, this is what you find for information about it. It's made from the pits of apricots and smells slightly nutty, it's great for putting moisture back into the skin.
