Hazelnut Oil

Your skin is exposed to multiple stressors that deteriorate your skin’s ability to self-heal. As you age, pollution, stress, sun exposure, and dietary agitators have an even more significant effect on your skin. This is because the production of vital nutrients has degenerated alongside the aging process, accelerating the signs common with mature skin: fine lines, wrinkles, and dullness. Topical treatments you apply help restore your skin and strengthen its natural barriers and healing abilities. Hazelnut oil is an exceptional oil to use for this purpose. The oil's composition makes it the perfect treatment, providing a range of magnificent – but fundamental – benefits your skin will love.

How Hazelnut Oil Supports Healthy Skin

The secret to hazelnut oil's essential skin benefits lies in the composition of the oil. Rich in oleic and linoleic acid, fatty acids that help restore your skin's function, hazelnut oil also has high vitamin E content and tannins, which are essential to maintaining and restoring healthy skin.

Prevent Age Spots

Hyperpigmentation – caused by prolonged sun exposure and the skin’s diminishing ability to produce antioxidants – leads to unsightly age spots. The vitamin E content in hazelnut oil ensures you’re replacing the – naturally occurring – vitamin e the skin loses as you age. By restoring this potent antioxidant, you're protecting against sun damage, reducing age spots, and giving your skin a radiant appearance.

Shrink Pores

The tannins within hazelnut oil are responsible for the oil's unique astringent properties. However, instead of drying the skin, these astringent properties help balance your skin's oil production. Additionally, these properties remove dead skin cells from the skin's surface, enabling nutrients from within the oil to reach the epidermis.

The astringent qualities of hazelnut oil are also responsible for tightening pores, giving your skin an airbrushed appearance.

Support Collagen Production

As you age, vitamin E production on the surface of the skin slows down. Given that vitamin E is essential to collagen production, replacing vitamin E is essential to maintaining firm, plump skin.  When combined with the fatty acid content, the skin is equipped with a powerful blend that decreases collagen degradation while supporting collagen generation.

Maintain Skin Moisture

Beyond collagen production, your skin also relies on its inherent moisture to maintain a youthful appearance. Given that your skin doesn't have a way to retain moisture naturally, the inevitable dehydration exacerbates fine lines and wrinkles. Hazelnut oil, however, serves as a critical barrier, preserving the moisture and nutrients on the surface of the skin to give your skin a hydrated, healthy appearance.

The most apparent signs of aging are intrinsic, occurring naturally because your skin no longer produces essential nutrients. External factors – like UV damage and pollution – only intensify and expedite this process.

Thankfully, hazelnut oil supplies your skin with these nutrients and fatty acids, supporting the skin and facilitating the decline in intrinsic aging, allowing your skin to exude natural radiance.

That’s why we have added Hazelnut oil to our oil blends.

Sanctify your skin.
