Apricot grows abundantly in this region of the Himalaya. Extracting oil and scrub from the kernels provides an important value addition to what is otherwise a waste product. Processing the raw material further provides income to the local community. One Hundred percent pure, and extracted using cold press technology, the oil and scrub are excellent skin-care products. Apricot Scrub: Kilmora’s Apricot Scrub gently exfoliates the face to provide a deep and moisturizing cleanse, which helps unclog pores and prevent blackheads. In addition, over time the exfoliating action can help to get rid of fine lines and small wrinkles creating a healthier and radiant glow for the skin. Apricot Oil: Apricot oil is a mild natural oil often used in baby products and for body massage because of its fine gentle nature. It is rich in essential fatty acids, and Vitamin A, C and E explaining why it is an excellent choice for moisturizing dry or irritated skin. Apricot oil is also well known for its ability to moisturize the skin without leaving an oily feel making it a popular commodity within the beauty sector. In addition, apricot oil has been found to have anti-inflammatory effects, which may help soothe minor skin conditions such as scabies, itching and eczema.

We use traditional hand-loom techniques with contemporary design sensibilities to create a constantly evolving collection. Our hand woven range of textiles uses only natural fibers: hand-spun and machine spun wool, silks and linen. Our range includes shawls, stoles, scarves, mufflers, yardage, and tailored garments using fabrics hand-woven at our weaving centre in Buribana. Pure Wool:  Our shawls, stoles and scarves are made using pure merino wool in vibrant colours. Blends:  We have an assortment of products that are hand woven using wool with silk or linen.

Our hand knitted products are made by women from local communities. Constant design input and strict quality standards are the hallmarks of the collection. If you are lucky enough you might catch one of the local knitting groups at work sitting outside a Kilmora shop. It is quite a sight and they would be more than happy to show you the products they are working on! Our raw materials include hand-spun vegetable dyed pure wool, machine-spun pure wool, acrylic, and cotton. We make a range of products such as sweaters, vests, caps, mufflers, neck warmers, gloves, socks, toys, hot-water bottle covers and tea-cosies. Previous Image
