Hazelnut Oil - Pure Natural Oil for Skin & Haircare

Extracted from the kernels of hazelnuts (Corylus avellana), this elegant oil is valued for its light texture and distinctive nutty character. Cold-pressed to preserve its natural properties, hazelnut oil has become a popular ingredient in natural cosmetic formulations, particularly prized for its quick-absorbing texture and pleasant aroma.

About This Oil

Hazelnut oil is cold-pressed from the kernels of hazelnuts, which are cultivated primarily in Mediterranean regions, Turkey, and parts of Europe and North America. This oil typically has a pale to medium yellow appearance and a characteristic sweet, nutty aroma that adds a pleasant sensory element to cosmetic formulations.

Hazelnuts have been harvested and enjoyed for thousands of years, with evidence of their use dating back to ancient civilizations. The oil extracted from these nutritious nuts has gained recognition as a premium cosmetic ingredient, valued for its elegant texture and unique composition.

What sets hazelnut oil apart is its remarkably light texture that absorbs quickly into skin without leaving a greasy residue, despite being a nut oil. This characteristic has made it particularly popular in facial care formulations where a non-greasy finish is desired.

Hazelnut oil has good stability when properly stored, though its monounsaturated fatty acid content means it should be protected from heat and light. The cold-pressing process ensures that the oil retains its naturally occurring nutrients and characteristic nutty aroma, making it a premium choice for natural cosmetic formulators.
