Walnut Oil

Walnut Oil - Pure Natural Oil for Skincare

Extracted from the kernels of walnuts (Juglans regia), this distinctive oil is valued for its impressive essential fatty acid content and characteristic nutty aroma. Cold-pressed to preserve its natural properties, walnut oil has been used in various applications for centuries, making it a traditional ingredient in natural cosmetic formulations.

About This Oil

Walnut oil is cold-pressed from the kernels of walnuts, which have been cultivated for thousands of years across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. This oil typically has a golden yellow appearance and a rich, distinctive nutty aroma that adds character to cosmetic formulations.

Walnuts have a long history of cultivation, with the tree being valued across many cultures. The oil extracted from these nutritious nuts has gained recognition in cosmetic applications, particularly valued for its essential fatty acid profile and pleasant sensory characteristics.

Walnut oil has a light to medium texture that absorbs well into skin. However, due to its very high polyunsaturated fatty acid content, particularly omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid, this oil is quite delicate and requires careful storage to maintain its quality. The oil's pleasant nutty aroma and golden colour make it distinctive in cosmetic formulations.

This oil has a relatively short shelf life compared to more stable oils due to its high omega-3 content, which makes it susceptible to oxidation. Proper storage is essential to maintain its freshness and quality.
