Hazelnut Oil (Corylus avellana)
This oil is unique in that two fatty acids make up 90% of its composition. Both unsaturated, this oil is very light. It has a delicious yet subtle "nutty" aroma, and is absorbed easily by the skin. Gentle and non-greasy, it is a lightweight oil that offers vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and proteins.
Hazelnut oil is recommended for oily, acne-prone or combination skin. Note: it is a valuable moisturizer for all skin types. It can also be a good astringent facial toner, and is said to help stimulate circulation and penetrate the skin more deeply than other oils.
Soap Making: With an abundance of unsaturated fatty acids, this oil needs to be blended with more saturated oils to shorten the tracing time.
