Hazelnut Oil Refined

HAZELNUT OIL REFINED

Fresh from the Corylus avellana (Hazel) plant comes an all-natural carrier oil that’s popular among DIY skincare and aromatherapy enthusiasts. 

Mediterranean people have long been nuts about hazelnuts, using them as a food source and medicinally for several centuries. Rich in healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals, hazelnuts are now being pressed into an oil that’s light, non-greasy and a super emollient, proving the ideal support for healthy skin and hair.

How to use Hazelnut Oil Refined

There are many ways you can use Hazelnut Oil at home – here are some of our favourite ways:

• Directly on the Skin: Hazelnut Oil is most beneficial by using it directly on the skin. You can use it on its own, or combined with other Carrier Oils and safe levels of Essential Oils.
• Massage Oil: For deeper relaxation and more hydrated skin, use Hazelnut Oil as a deeply-penetrating massage oil, relaxing your muscles without leaving you sticky. Use straight, or add a few drops of your favourite Essential Oil.
• Hair Treatment: Apply Hazelnut Oil directly to your scalp, hair roots, and ends of your hair to create a nourishing hair treatment. Leave for as long as desired and then shampoo well.
• Dry Skin Repair: Pour a few drops of Hazelnut Oil into your palm, rub together apply to dry skin areas such as your elbows or the soles of your feet.
• Skincare Addition: Did you know, carrier oils can be added to your existing skincare products? Hazelnut Oil is an excellent option to add to one of your products you already use to help boost its benefits - try a pump or two in your daily moisturizer or skin serum.
• Sunscreen Booster: Apply Hazelnut Oil to your body before applying your sunscreen to help boost its protection. Alternatively, if you are not planning on going directly into the sun, you can use Hazelnut Oil on its own to provide light UV protection for your skin.
