Hazelnut seed oil
Hazelnut seed oil is a lightweight, nourishing carrier oil derived from hazelnuts. It absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a greasy feel, making it a popular choice in moisturisers, facial oils and hair care products across the UK.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, hazelnut seed oil functions as an excellent emollient and skin-conditioning agent. Its natural fatty acid profile helps to soften and smooth the skin while supporting the skin’s lipid barrier. It is frequently used in facial serums, creams, cleansing oils and hair treatments to deliver lightweight moisture and improve product texture and spreadability.
