Creative Nature's bitter apricot kernels are sourced directly from the Pakistan region of the Himalayas, where the brand believes the highest quality apricot kernels are produced. Small and almond-like in appearance, they start white inside the apricot fruit and turn a warm brown once dried.
Important: these kernels are sold for cosmetic use only. They are not suitable for human consumption. Creative Nature's bitter apricot kernels contain very high levels of amygdalin (B17), which exceeds the maximum level of 20mg/kg set by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) for apricot kernels sold as food. This is governed by EC regulation 2017/1237. For full details, the FSA letter issued to sellers of apricot kernels is available on the Creative Nature website.
As a cosmetic ingredient, they are widely used in:
- Body scrubs
- Facial scrubs
- Natural exfoliation blends
How to use: Grind the kernels using a pestle and mortar. Use alone as an exfoliant, combine with Fine Pink Himalayan Crystal Salt for added texture, or mix with Coconut Oil to create a smooth, all-natural body scrub.
Available in:
- 150g
- 1.2kg
Packaging: supplied in a fully recyclable pouch.
About Our Brand Creative Nature
For those navigating food allergies or dietary restrictions, finding delicious and safe options often feels like a compromise. Many 'free from' products prioritise safety over flavour, leaving consumers with uninspiring alternatives. Creative Nature addresses this by crafting superfoods and snacks that are free from gluten, dairy, nuts, and artificial sweeteners, ensuring taste is never sacrificed.
What truly distinguishes Creative Nature is their rigorous approach to ingredient sourcing. They go beyond standard practices, tracing ingredients directly to unpolluted growing regions. This deliberate choice significantly reduces the risk of heavy metal contamination, a common issue in less scrutinised superfood supply chains, demonstrating an unparalleled commitment to product safety.
At its core, Creative Nature believes that healthy eating should be a joyful experience, not a chore. Their product development prioritises both safety and palatability, ensuring that customers with multiple dietary restrictions can enjoy their food without compromise. This dual focus on stringent sourcing and genuine flavour makes them a standout brand.
