Hazelnut organic virgin oil

Hazelnut oil is recognised in cosmetics for its astringent and emollient properties(1). Hazelnut oil is rich in phospholipids, which are known for having a structure similar to that of natural oils on the skin(3) and for supporting skin hydration(2), unlike refined oils(2), making it ideal for skincare. It also contains α-tocopherol (vitamin E), which is known for its anti-oxidant properties, helping protect against the oxidation of the components of sebum(1)(4). Fatty acids in Hazelnut oil, including oleic acid(1), are known for hydrating the skin and protecting against external stresses (maintaining the hydrolipidic film)(5).

In an amber-coloured glass bottle with a dropper cap to better preserve the oil and provide precise dosing.
