The ingredient narratives reshaping clean beauty.
Plum Kernel Oil
aka prunus domestica seed oil · plum oil · le prunier
The newer-generation French-clean facial oil — LeBon's signature, popularized by Le Prunier (the Taub-Dix sisters' California stone-fruit kernel oil). Cold-pressed from Prunus domestica kernels; high in oleic acid, tocopherols, and a distinctive almond-marzipan aroma that doubles as 'clean fragrance'. The agricultural-byproduct sustainability story (rescuing kernels from prune waste streams) gives it a circular-economy clean credential.
- lightweight emollient with distinctive natural scent
- antioxidant tocopherol load
- agricultural circularity story (waste-stream sourcing)
- Le Prunier facial oil
- LeBon body oils
- scent-forward clean facial oils
Use 1–100% in oil products; 1–10% in emulsions. Cold-pressed virgin preserves both antioxidants and the characteristic aroma — which formulators sometimes leverage as the only 'fragrance' in fragrance-free positioning.
Stone-fruit allergy (rare). Strong characteristic odor not for everyone.
Strongly positive — circular sourcing is the story.
