Hazelnut Oil

Hazelnut Oil


Hazelnut oil is obtained from the kernels of the hazelnut bush (Corylus avellana L.) . Native to Europe, West Asia, and the Caucasus region, hazelnuts were used in ancient Rome and Greece for skincare and medicinal purposes, and gained favor among European nobility during the Middle Ages as a natural emollient. Today, Turkey, Italy, and Spain are the primary global producers of hazelnut oil.
The oil is characterized by exceptionally high levels of monounsaturated fatty acids, with oleic acid constituting 65-85% of its composition. Its fatty acid profile closely resembles human sebum, enabling easy absorption and enhanced skin barrier function. Oleic acid aids in regulating blood lipids and slowing cardiovascular aging, while vitamin E, phytosterols, and polyphenols impart antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
