Common Uses: Unrefined Kukui Seed Carrier Oil is cold-pressed from the kernels – or the “nuts/seeds” – of the Kukui Nut tree to retain high levels of natural polyunsaturated fatty acids. This light oil is used today in all high-quality skin preparations due to its ability to quickly penetrate the skin. For centuries Hawaiians have used Kukui Nut oil to protect skin from salt water, harsh sun, and drying winds. Due to their high oil content, Kukui seeds were burned to provide light, hence earning the nickname Candlenut. It is ideal for application on skin afflicted by dryness, psoriasis, eczema or any similar skin conditions. It can also be used in hair care, bath products, cleansing products, and shaving products.
Consistency: Typical and characteristic of carrier oils.
Absorption: Absorbs into skin at a medium absorbency rate, leaving a slight oily residue on the skin.

Cautions: None Known.
Storage: It is recommended that cold-pressed carrier oils be kept in a cool, dark place to maintain freshness and achieve maximum shelf life. If refrigerated, bring to room temperature before using.
