Answer

Safety of Apricot Scrub for Lips

Based on our product search, we could not find a specific product listed as "Apricot Scrub" in the current catalog.

Regarding your concern about the toxicity of apricot kernels, it is true that raw apricot kernels contain compounds that can be toxic if ingested. However, cosmetic ingredients derived from apricot kernels, such as the shell powder used in exfoliating products, are processed for external use and are not meant to be eaten.

Cosmetic scrubs, including those made from natural materials, are generally safe for external application. When used correctly on the skin, including the lips, and not ingested, they provide physical exfoliation.

For the sensitive skin on the lips, it is crucial to use a scrub with a fine particle size and apply it very gently to avoid irritation.

If you are looking for scrub ingredients, we offer various options such as:

  • Walnut Scrub
  • Coffee Scrub
  • CelluScrub

Always use any scrub product gently on the lips and ensure it is not ingested.
