The use of organic hazelnut oil in the cosmetics industry

Not only in the kitchen does the organic hazelnut oil make a great impression. The cosmetics industry can also benefit from the delicately scented oil made from roasted hazelnuts, reminiscent of nougat.

Its composition is similar to organic almond oil and creates soft skin and shiny hair. This is due to valuable ingredients in the organic hazelnut oil such as:

• unsaturated omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids like oleic and linoleic acid,
• important trace elements,
• vitamins B, K, and especially vitamin E, and
• moisturizing phytosterols and tocopherol.

For dry hair, the organic hazelnut oil works wonders. It provides shine, can rebalance moisture, and prevents further drying. Especially with regular heat styling, it helps in shampoos, conditioners, masks, and hair fluids while caring for the scalp.

The skin also benefits from the great properties of organic hazelnut oil. It spreads well, absorbs quickly due to the high oleic acid content, and leaves a pleasant, non-greasy feeling.

Dry, sensitive skin can rebuild a natural protective barrier through linoleic acid and better retain moisture with phytosterols. The organic hazelnut oil supports suppleness and elasticity all over the body and can help care for stretch marks. The combination of oleic acid, vitamins, and natural tocopherol is said to promote circulation and trigger a mild firming effect, making it useful in anti-cellulite and anti-aging products. Its vitamin E content acts as an antioxidant, protecting against free radicals and premature skin aging. Improved circulation supplies the skin with oxygen, helping reduce fine lines, making skin appear plumper, more vital, and firmer with a rosy complexion included.

Moreover, the organic hazelnut oil is anti-inflammatory and promotes wound healing. Though this might seem contradictory at first, it is excellent for oily, acne-prone skin. Pimples can heal and new ones be prevented, improving the skin's appearance.

Sun lovers also benefit from organic hazelnut oil. With a natural sun protection factor (SPF 15), it is a common ingredient in UV protection and after-sun products.
