CM HAO is obtained from the seeds inside the hard pits of the apricot fruit. It is a biotechnology-based ingredient derived from agri-waste (the hard pits), 100% natural, made with upscale technology and manufactured sustainably and ethically.

Rich in unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, antioxidants and phytosterols.

  • Rich in oleic acid (Omega-9) and linoleic acid (Omega-6), which integrate into the skin's lipid matrix to lock in moisture and prevent TEWL
  • Anti-aging and fine line reduction, from natural vitamin A precursors (retinoid alternatives) and vitamin E (tocopherols) that support cell renewal and improve skin elasticity
  • Antioxidant protection: vitamin E and phytosterols neutralise free radicals caused by pollution and UV exposure
  • Phytosterols like beta-sitosterol mimic natural skin cholesterol to reinforce and repair damaged or sensitive skin barriers
  • Calms irritation, redness and inflammatory conditions such as eczema or dermatitis
  • Its triglyceride structure dissolves oil-soluble impurities and makeup, leaving skin conditioned
  • Hair and scalp conditioning: tames frizz, adds natural shine, softens rough ends and nourishes dry scalps
