Apricot Kernel Tea

Ciyuan®- Your Trusted Supplier of Apricot Kernel Tea

It is important to first of all define Apricot Kernel Tea and draw a line between it and other products of apricot origin before moving on to discuss its beauty virtues. Apricot Kernel hearbal tea is prepared by infusing dried (and sometimes roasting) apricot kernels into hot water. The kernels are first cleaned, hulled and dried to eliminate the excess moisture - this process ensures that the nutrient content is still present and thereby the nutrients do not spoil. The dried apricot kernels, which are used to make tea, may be roasted lightly to soften the taste (this is why the kernels themselves are not raw), so that the tea can be made with a hint of almond.​
The major features of apricot kernel powder tea are:
Form: An herbal infusion (tisane), not a tea (a tea is the leaf of Camellia sinensis), and is therefore caffeine-free--perfect as an evening beverage or with caffeine-sensitive people.​
Nutrient Profile: Maintains vitamin E, B vitamins, minerals (zinc, magnesium), antioxidants, and other water-soluble and heat-stable apricot kernel nutrients. It also has fewer fatty components as compared to apricot kernel oil or capsules (fats are not completely soluble in water), but it still provides a significant amount of fat-soluble vitamins when prepared in an appropriate way.​
Preparation: Can be made at home using whole or ground dried apricot kernels, or can be purchased as tea bags offered by wellness companies. Honey, lemon, or cinnamon can be used to sweeten it and still retain its benefits.​
Learning the fundamental characteristics of the tea preconditions the discussion of the interactions of the nutrients with the skin and hair.​

Benefits

Nutrients that are important in the Skin and Hair of Apricot kernel extract tea.
The ability of pure Apricot kernel extract tea to aid skin and hair is due to its distinct combination of nutrients, many of which are vital in the maintenance of healthy and radiant skin and healthy hair. The following are core compounds and their functions:
1. Vitamin E (Tocopherol)​
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant which is partly soluble in hot water and therefore is one of the main sources of the benefits of the bulk apricot kernel tea. For skin, vitamin E helps:​
Seal moisture by increasing the lipid barrier making the skin tight, curtailing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) - one of the primary causes of dry flaky skin.​
Inhibit UV radiation, pollution, and stress-induced free radicals that harm skin cells and promote effects of dullness.​
In hair, vitamin E feeds the hair follicles by enhancing the blood flow to the scalp which promotes healthy growth of hair. It further assists in preventing the damage of hair strands due to environmental factors like weather or heat style.​
2. Oleic Acid (Omega-9 Fatty Acid)​
Apricot kernels contain oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid, which, although mainly fat-soluble, leaches in small but useful amounts into tea. Oleic acid supports:​
Repair of skin barriers: It replenishes the natural oils of the skin (particularly in those with dry or mature skin), making skin less rough and enhancing a smooth texture.​
Scalp health: Oleic acid balances oil production on the scalp to prevent excess dryness (that causes dandruff), as well as excessive dampness (that leads to clogging of hair follicles).​
3. Zinc​
Zinc is a trace mineral present in apricot kernels and is water-soluble and can easily be consumed in tea. Zinc plays a critical role in:​
Skin health: It balances the amount of sebum (oil) produced in the skin, avoiding a clogged pore and helping to keep a clear complexion. It also contributes to wound healing by being helpful in soothing any minor irritations such as redness or dry patches.​
Hair strength: Zinc plays a vital role in protein synthesis-hair is mainly composed of keratin and a deficiency may result in thinning or breaking of hair. It also promotes scalp immunity which decreases chances of scalp infection.​
4. B Vitamins (Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin)
Apricot kernels have B vitamins which are soluble in water and completely extracted into tea. These vitamins support:​
Skin energy metabolism: B vitamins assist in transforming food to energy that is utilized by skin cells to achieve a luminous, glowing complexion, by alleviating fatigue-induced dullness.​
Hair follicle health: riboflavin (B2) and niacin (B3) help to increase blood flow to the scalp, and follicles get enough nutrients to grow strong and healthy hair.​
5. Antioxidants (Phenolic Acids, Flavonoids)
The apricot kernels contain a number of plant-based antioxidants that are soluble in tea. These compounds:​
Shield the skin against oxidative skin stress: These are combined with vitamin E to counteract the action of free radicals, preventing the rapid decline of collagen (a protein that keeps the skin firm).​
Keep hair color: Antioxidants minimize the oxidative damage to hair pigments, to prevent natural hair pigment and early graying.​
The Full story of how Apricot Kernel hearbal tea helps your hair.
Similar to how it feeds the skin internally, the apricot kernel powder tea also provides nutrients that aid hair health by attacking the follicles, strands, and the scalp. Its main hair benefits are as below:
1. Feeds Hair Follicles to Grow.
The follicles should be nourished to start growing healthy hair. This is facilitated through apricot kernel herb tea which helps:
Zinc, B vitamins: Zinc helps in the production of the protein, keratin (the primary protein in hair), the B vitamins (riboflavin, niacin) help to enhance blood flowing to the scalp. This keeps the follicles supplied with oxygen and nutrients and decreases the chances of hair thinning.​
Vitamin E: Vitamin E helps follicles avoid oxidative stress and damage, thus preventing slow growth or hair loss (through breakage, rather than pattern baldness).​
2. Strengthens Hair Strands​
Brittle hair is usually considered an indicator of deficiencies in certain nutrients (e.g., zinc, protein) or damage by the environment. Apricot kernel herb tea helps:​
Zinc: Zinc fortifies hair strands by reinforcing protein structure, which causes hair to break when brushing or styling.​
Antioxidants: Prevent UV rays and heat styling that weaken the hair cuticle resulting in split ends. In a 2018 Cosmetics study, plant-based beverages contain antioxidants which have been shown to enhance the tensile strength (resistance to breaking) of hair within 8 to 12 weeks of continuous use.​
3. Lessens Drought and Split Ends
Loss of moisture and lipid in the strands results in dry hair and split ends. Apricot kernel herb tea fills this by:
Oleic acid: Although tea has minimal levels of this fatty acid, it helps keep the natural moisture level of the hair reducing dryness. It also flattens the cuticle of hair to reduce frizz.​
Vitamin E: This is a natural conditioner that helps to keep the strands hydrated internally and therefore less likely to break apart. Topical hair oils (e.g. apricot kernel oil) compound the effect.​
4. Supports a Healthy Scalp​
Healthy scalp equates to healthy hair-any problem such as dandruff or oiliness can interfere with the growth. Apricot kernel extract tea helps to keep the scalp healthy by:
Zinc: Zinc helps to regulate the amount of sebum in the scalp, so as to avoid both dry, scaly scalp (dandruff) and greasy scalp (which can clog follicles). It is also slightly anti-fungal which decreases the chances of scalp infections.​
Antioxidants: Help to lessen the inflammation of the scalp leading to itching or erythema. This will be of great use to individuals with sensitive heads.​
Apricot Kernel hearbal tea vs. Other Skin Hair Booster Beverages.
To realize the special worth of apricot kernel powder tea , it is better to compare it with other common drinks promoted in the market as the skin and hair care products. This comparison brings out its specific benefits:
1. vs. Green Tea​
Green tea contains catechins (antioxidants) which keep skin healthy, but it does not contain:
Vitamin E and oleic acid: These lipids are not present in large quantities in green tea and therefore not effective in dry skin or scalp.​
Zinc: Green tea contains low levels of zinc, thus it does not contribute to the strength of the hair or its ability to maintain oil in the scalp.​
The benefit of apricot kernel herb tea: It is an antioxidant mixed with healthy fats and minerals, and is a more holistic approach to the solution of dryness and brittle hair.​
2. vs. Coconut Water​
Coconut water is smooth and electrolyte-rich and yet:
Has poor vitamin E and antioxidant levels: It is not as protective against oxidative stress on the skin or helps maintain the health of hair follicles.​
Lacks oleic acid: Coconut water is not capable of repairing skin or scalp lipid barriers such as Apricot kernel extract tea.​
The competitive advantage of apricot kernel powder tea : It offers specific nutrients to skin and hair rather than hydration.​
3. vs. Rosehip Tea​
Rosehip tea contains vitamin C (which helps to build collagen), however, it:
Has little or no healthy fats: It will not hydrate the skin or the scalp internally.​
Has lower zinc levels: It does not provide as much strength to hair or scalp.​
The advantage of Apricot Kernel hearbal tea: It combines not only collagen support (through zinc and antioxidants) and hydration (through vitamin E and oleic acid), but covers several of the key beauty issues.
