Hazelnut CO2 extracted oil is a highly beneficial ingredient for skin care and has a rich, delicious flavor similar to Nutella. It is extracted from the Corylus avellana nut kernels, which are organically grown in Turkey. The extraction process is carried out in Germany using Supercritical CO2 Select extraction, which ensures that the resulting Hazel Nut CO2 oil is of the highest quality.
Hazelnut CO2 oil is rapidly absorbed by the skin and is known for its ability to maintain firmness and elasticity, encourage cell regeneration, and stimulate circulation. Hazelnut oil is also known for its ability to help strengthen capillaries, which can help reduce the visibility of thread veins. It has a slightly astringent quality, making it suitable for sensitive, combination, and problematic skin types.
Hazelnut CO2 oil is lightweight and has a non-greasy feel that leaves the skin soft and supple. It is believed to have a natural sun protection factor in the range of 15 (SPF15), making it a great base oil for skin care products. You can also blend it with our
Red Raspberry Seed Oil for additional natural sun protection qualities. However, it is important to note that products formulated for sun protection and labeled as 'sunscreen' must be formally tested for their exact SPF rating.
Our Hazelnut CO2 extract is so delicious that you may be tempted to put a drop in your coffee!
