The hazelnut seed oil comes from the Corylus avellana, a tree native to Europe and Asia.

Functions of Hazelnut Oil in Topical Use:

1. Moisturising and nourishing: Restores the skin’s lipid barrier and moisturises the skin without leaving a greasy feeling.

2. Antioxidant: Protects the skin from premature ageing thanks to its vitamin E content.

3. Anti-inflammatory: Soothes irritated or inflamed skin, being useful for conditions such as acne.

4. Cellular regenerator: Promotes skin repair and improves scars and stretch marks.

5. Balances sebum: Does not clog pores and helps control oil production in the skin.

6. Astringent: Tones the skin and reduces pore size.

Hazelnut oil is used in moisturisers, serums, facial oils, masks, hair care products and treatments for oily or acne-prone skin. It is especially valuable in anti-ageing products, as well as those intended to smooth the skin and reduce scarring.
