SHORT DESCRIPTION & INTERESTING FACTS

  • Sinks in Fast: Hazelnut oil is highly unsaturated (more than 90%), allowing it to absorb rapidly and penetrate deeply into the skin without leaving a greasy residue.
  • The Ultimate Sebum Balancer: Renowned for its astringent properties (rich in catechins and tannins), it tightens dilated pores and helps oily, combination, and acne-prone skin regulate sebum production.
  • Excellent Skin Regeneration: It offers outstanding protection, softening, and hydration for all skin types, including highly sensitive skin, by restoring the skin's protective hydrolipidic film.
  • A Perfect Massage Base: Often chosen by the cosmetic industry as a stable, neutral base, it is an ideal alternative to Sweet Almond Oil for massages, body oils, and essential oil dilutions.
