Organic Hazelnut Oil (Corylus Avellana Seed Oil)
Organic Hazelnut Oil is a lightweight, nutrient-rich carrier oil pressed from the nuts of the hazel tree. It absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy feel, making it a favourite in facial oils, moisturisers and hair treatments. Naturally high in oleic acid and vitamin E, it helps nourish and soften skin and hair.
How it works in skincare
In skincare and cosmetic formulations, organic hazelnut oil functions as an excellent emollient and non-occlusive moisturiser. Its balanced fatty acid profile allows it to penetrate the upper layers of the skin rapidly, helping to reinforce the skin’s lipid barrier while imparting a smooth, velvety finish. It is frequently used in facial serums, cleansing oils, massage blends and haircare products to improve suppleness and provide antioxidant protection against environmental stressors.
