General Profile:
A hardy tree, bearing stone fruit, closely related to the peach. The
leaves are broad and roundest, with pointed apex; smooth; margin, finely
serrated; petiole 1/2 inch to an inch long, generally tinged with red.
The flowers are sessile, white, tinged with the same dusky red that
appears on the petiole, with five regular sepals and petals and many
stamens, and open very early in the spring. The fruit, which ripens end
of July to mid-August, according to variety, is a drupe, like the plum,
with a thin outer, downy skin enclosing the yellow flesh (mesocarp), the
inner layers becoming woody and forming the large, smooth, compressed
stone, the ovule ripening into the kernel, or seed.
 Uses:
It
is used as a
substitute for Oil of Almonds, which it very closely resembles. It is
far less expensive and finds considerable employment in cosmetics, for
its softening action on the skin. It is often fraudulently added to
genuine Almond oil and used in the manufacture of soaps, cold creams and
other preparations of the perfumery trade.
Properties:
fixed oil, Olein, Glyceride of Linolic acid, and commonly sold as Peach
Kernel oil (Ol. Amygdae Pers.). From the cake is distilled, by digestion
with alcohol, an essential oil (0l. Amygdae Essent. Pers.) which
contains a colourless, crystalline glucoside, Amygdalin, and is
chemically identical with that of the bitter almond. The essential oil
is used in confectionery and as a culinary flavouring
Cautions -
for those with
hypersensitive skin or with skin problems. Avoid in endometriosis and
