The use of the 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 from roasted hazelnuts, reminiscent of nougat.

In its composition similar to organic almond oil, the organic hazelnut oil creates soft skin and well-groomed, shiny hair. This is due to valuable ingredients in the organic hazelnut oil such as:

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

For dry hair, the organic hazelnut oil does a great job. It provides shine, can rebalance moisture, and prevents further drying. Especially with regular heat styling such as blow-drying and straightening, the organic hazelnut oil in shampoos, conditioners, masks, and hair fluids can help. Incidentally, it also cares for the scalp.

The skin also benefits from the great properties of the 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 can provide suppleness and elasticity all over the body. It can also 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, which is why the organic hazelnut oil is also used in anti-cellulite products and anti-aging care. Due to its vitamin E and tocopherol content, it is believed to act as an antioxidant. Antioxidants can protect against free radicals and thus premature skin aging. Increased circulation supplies the skin better with oxygen. Smaller wrinkles can be plumped up again, making the skin appear fuller, more vital, and firmer with a rosy complexion included.

Moreover, the organic hazelnut oil has anti-inflammatory properties and promotes wound healing. Although this may seem contradictory at first glance, the organic hazelnut oil is a wonderful care for impure, oily skin. Pimples can heal with the hazelnut oil and their formation can be reduced. This can improve the skin's appearance.

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

To produce our organic hazelnut oil, we use ripe, dried, and shelled hazelnuts, which we then gently mechanically press, i.e., cold press.
