ABOUT THE PLANT

Hazelnut is the nut of the hazel and therefore includes any of the nuts deriving from species of the genus Corylus, especially the nuts of the species Corylus avellana. It is also know as filbert nut.

ABOUT THE OIL

Considered the most gentle of the carrier oils, this expeller-pressed, lightly refined Hazelnut is suitable for all skin types. Rich but light and mildly fragranced, this easily absorbed oil is great in facial and massage blends.

Hazelnut oil is especially useful for skin types that need oil control and desire to minimize the size of pores. It has unique properties due to a high content of catechins and tannins (both flavonoids) that give it a "dry" oil feel that smooths, tones and rejuvenates the skin. Hazelnut oil and Grapeseed oil are two mildly astringent oils that are highly recommended as base oils for acne care. Also helpful for acne care are Tamanu and Virgin Coconut oils for their anti-bacterial properties.

Because of its high vitamin E content, hazelnut oil is slow to go rancid, as the antioxidant protection of the vitamin E preserves it. It has a high level of flavonoids,
