Kukui nut oil, certified organic
Kukui nut oil has a long history in Hawaii, where it was traditionally used to care for skin exposed to salt water, strong sun, and drying winds. Lightweight and silky with an average-to-fast absorption rate, it is a versatile oil that works beautifully across both skincare and hair care formulations.
Naturally rich in essential fatty acids, kukui nut oil helps support skin softness and comfort without leaving a particularly heavy or greasy after-feel. It is especially popular in facial oils, serums, body oils, and scalp products where a lighter skin feel is desired.
