Cherry pit oil

Cherry pit oil (CAS 85566-22-9), also marketed as cherry kernel oil and cherry seed oil, is a fixed vegetable oil cold-pressed from the seeds of Prunus avium. It functions as an emollient carrier and lubricant across personal care manufacturing and specialty food applications.

In cosmetic formulations, it serves as a lightweight carrier oil in facial serums, body lotions, and massage oils. Its skin-absorbing profile suits leave-on products targeting dry or sensitive skin types in professional skincare lines.

Food-grade versions are used as a finishing oil and flavor carrier in premium culinary products, particularly in European specialty markets. Coating and lubricant formulators incorporate it as a bio-based processing aid for industrial use.

This material is ideal where a renewable, low-viscosity oil is required for specific manufacturing processes. Its emollient properties also support lip care and hair conditioning products where formulators seek natural-origin alternatives.

Cherry pit oil is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid, typically in drums and IBCs for industrial buyers. It is also available in smaller containers for cosmetic formulators requiring precise batch measurements.

The product is available in cosmetic-grade and food-grade specifications, with cold-pressed and refined variants offered depending on application requirements. Organic-certified material is commercially available for clean-label lines.
