Applications
Hazelnut oil possesses astringent qualities and is considered a suitable base oil for oily, acne-prone skin types because it balances out sebum production. Promoting firmer, healthy skin tone, the oil also helps to strengthen the capillaries and stimulate the circulation. Easily absorbed and highly nourishing, hazelnut oil also acts as a sun filter. Research has indicated that it provides protection equivalent to sun factor 10 in the FDA category. |

About the Product
The hazelnut tree grows wild throughout Northern Europe and it is thought to have originated in Greece. Ancient Chinese manuscripts from 5,000 years ago refer to the hazelnut as a sacred food gifted to mankind by the heavens. The roasted nuts find use in a wide range of culinary traditions, particularly in salads and baking. The oil has been used internally for the treatment of urinary stones, kidney colic and intestinal parasites including tapeworm.
