ALEURITES MOLUCCANUS SEED OIL

Description

ALEURITES MOLUCCANUS SEED OIL, also known as Kukui Nut Oil, is derived from the nuts of the candlenut tree native to tropical regions, particularly Hawaii and Southeast Asia. This lightweight, non-comedogenic oil is rich in essential fatty acids, including linoleic, linolenic, and oleic acids, which contribute to its excellent skin-nourishing properties.

The oil's high content of antioxidants, vitamins A, C, and E, helps protect the skin from environmental stressors and free radical damage. Its emollient properties make it effective in improving skin hydration and elasticity, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. ALEURITES MOLUCCANUS SEED OIL is easily absorbed by the skin, making it suitable for various skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin.

In skincare formulations, this oil is often used as a base for moisturizers, serums, and facial oils. It can help soothe irritated skin, calm inflammation, and promote healing in conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. The oil's ability to penetrate deeply into the skin makes it an excellent carrier for other active ingredients, enhancing their efficacy in skincare products.
