We’re excited to announce the arrival of a new product, now offering Virgin Organic Kukui Nut oil!
The kukui nut, or candlenut, is a drupe from the flowering tree Aleurites moluccanus. It’s natively found in abundance among Polynesia, Hawaii, South Asia, and China. The kukui is said to be a symbol of peace, protection, and enlightenment in Maui. All parts of the tree are used in different customs and cuisine, perhaps most notably in Hawaiian culture. The oil, historically used as a light source, is now desired across the globe for hair and skincare applications.
Virgin Organic Kukui Nut Oil, also referred to as candlenut oil, is expeller-pressed and remains in its unrefined state, noted as virgin. This lightweight oil is yellow in color with a characteristic nutty aroma. It is high in linoleic, oleic, and linolenic fatty acid content, which are elements sought-after in the cosmetic and personal health care industry for their moisturizing properties. Kukui nut oil is utilized in topical products such as lotions, soaps, serums, shampoos, conditioners, and other formulations seeking to hydrate.
