Perhaps not everyone knows that hazelnuts can be used to extract an oil rich in active ingredients and with numerous cosmetic properties.
Hazelnut oil is obtained from the fruit through cold pressing, a process that preserves all its beneficial and organoleptic properties. Once extracted, this amber-hued oil releases a distinctive aromatic fragrance, often used as a delicate scent in natural cosmetics.
[INDICE:h2]What sets it apart: rapid absorption
One major quality that distinguishes hazelnut oil from many other plant oils is its very rapid absorption into the epidermis, making it useful in preventing skin dehydration for all skin types.
Its low greasiness makes it a particularly suitable cosmetic ingredient for oily and acne-prone skin, as it helps rebalance sebum production and reduce imperfections.
Cosmetic properties
Its purifying and astringent qualities make it suitable for use as a plant extract that helps combat impurities and protect the skin from smog and pollution. It helps refine pores, improving the texture and appearance of the face.
Hazelnut oil is also an effective emollient and soothing treatment for redness or skin irritation, making it suitable for the most delicate and sensitive skin.
It is also a powerful nourishing agent, exceptionally rich in omega-6 and omega-9, vitamin B, and vitamin E, the quintessential natural antioxidant. This makes it a valuable ally for more mature skin, where it supports cellular repair processes and helps restore elasticity and tone to the face, counteracting the effects of free radicals.
