Hazelnut oil is obtained from the nuts of the hazel tree, primarily through cold pressing. This process begins with the careful harvesting of the hazelnuts, which are then dried and separated from their shells. Cold pressing the nuts preserves their valuable nutrients, resulting in a light, golden oil rich in vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. Cold pressing ensures that the oil retains its natural properties, making it a powerful ingredient for skin care.
One of the most notable benefits of hazelnut oil is its ability to deeply hydrate the skin without leaving a greasy residue. The oil has a light texture and is quickly absorbed by the skin, making it ideal for all skin types, including oily and sensitive skin. Hazelnut oil contains a high concentration of vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin from free radicals and premature aging. It is also rich in essential fatty acids such as oleic acid and linoleic acid, similar to the skin’s own sebum, so that the skin is nourished, remains supple and retains its natural moisture balance.
In addition, hazelnut oil has numerous regenerative and healing properties. It contains tannins, natural astringents that help to tighten pores and firm the skin, which is particularly beneficial for those with oily or acne-prone skin. The anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties of hazelnut oil also make it effective in reducing redness and promoting an even skin tone. Regular use of hazelnut oil can not only help to hydrate and protect the skin, but also make it feel softer and more supple, which contributes to a radiant and healthy appearance.
Hazelnut oil is not often found in skin care, unfortunately. That is why we have added this beautiful ingredient to the Regenerating Oil Serum.
