What is Hazelnut Oil (Organic & Cold-Pressed)?

Hazelnut Oil (INCI: Corylus Avellana Seed Oil) is an exceptionally light "dry oil". This means it is absorbed directly by the skin without leaving a greasy residue. This makes it the ideal oil for combination, oily and sensitive skin.

Where does Hazelnut Oil come from?

Our organic hazelnut oil is extracted from the nuts of the Hazel tree (botanical name: Corylus avellana), a large shrub or small tree that is native to Europe, including the Netherlands!

How is Hazelnut Oil made?

First, raw, organic hazelnuts are carefully selected and peeled. They are then mechanically pressed at low temperatures. No heat or chemical solvents are used. This pure, mechanical process ensures that delicate nutrients, such as Vitamin E and essential fatty acids, are optimally preserved in the final oil.

Benefits

Balances Oily Skin
Hazelnut oil is known for its mild astringent properties. It helps make shiny skin appear more matte and optically refines pores. Because it is non-comedogenic (does not clog pores), it is perfect for balancing shiny skin.

Protects & Softens
The oil is rich in antioxidants such as Vitamin E, which help protect skin against free radicals. It hydrates and softens the skin and is lovely for mature skin.

Weightless Hair Care
This light oil nourishes hair, tames frizz and adds shine without weighing it down. It is ideal for fine hair and even helps keep colored hair vibrant longer.

Absorbs Rapidly
Because the oil absorbs rapidly, it is not a suitable oil for a long massage. However, it is a fantastic carrier oil to transport essential oils quickly and effectively into the skin, for example in a facial serum.

How to use it?

Use it as a daily serum, as a base for your DIY skincare products or as a light hair oil.

Facial Serum
Apply 2 to 3 drops in the morning and evening to cleansed skin. It absorbs immediately and works perfectly as a mattifying primer under makeup.

Hair Oil
Warm 1-2 drops in your palms and distribute through the ends of your hair to combat frizz and add shine.

What makes it so special?

Hazelnut oil is the perfect oil for those who don't like the feeling of oil. It is one of the few oils that actively balances and mattifies oily skin while still deeply nourishing and protecting it.
