Effects of Kukui Nut Oil

I get a lot of questions asking what is kukui nut oil and why I use it in my products

 

So here you have it....

 Kukui oil has been around for hundreds of years it's also Hawaii's state tree, The Hawaiians discovered it when the shells were removed from from the kukui nuts and the kernels lightly roasted clear oil could be pressed out. This is a  excellent penetrating oil that when smoothed on the skin it soothed and softened sunburns and irritations not to say it's also effective for many different skin conditions, providing moisture and nourishment to dry, mature as well as damaged skin.  Kukui oil contains vitamins A, C, and E providing anti-oxidants that help protect your skin. I have even used it for a before shampooing oil treatment for my hair.

Coming from a dry climate I have found this oil to be critical in all my products, with the exception of my body linen sprays. This is because I don't always have the time to re-apply moisturizing product throughout the day, so to having kukui oil in my products allows me to use my product once a day as opposed to 2 and 3 times a day. Even at the end of the day after washing my hands multiple times they are still soft and there is nothing better then soft, healthy skin.

So there you have it the story of why kukui oil is a staple ingredient in my products....

Until next time
