hazelnut oil
July 2024 | by María Gutiérrez
Hazelnut oil is one of our favourite natural ingredients at Masaison for our autumn-winter products. This golden oil, obtained by pressing hazelnuts harvested in late summer, is mainly produced in the Aquitaine region. Not only does it give off an exquisite scent that naturally perfumes our creams, but it also has unique properties that will sublimate your skin. Discover the three main benefits of hazelnut oil today:
1. Antioxidant
Hazelnut oil is rich in vitamin E, an important antioxidant A powerful antioxidant that helps repair damage caused by the sun and pollutants in the air. Anti-oxidants help protect the skin against free radicals and promote cell regeneration.
Do our bodies oxidise like a bicycle chain in the rain or an avocado left out in the open? We explain...
2. Nourishing
Thanks to the presence of essential fatty acids such as omega-6 (linoleic acid) and omega-9 (oleic acid), hazelnut oil is extremely nourishing. These fatty acids play a crucial role in maintaining the skin barrier, helping to retain moisture in the skin and prevent dehydration. What's more, the molecular structure of hazelnut oil allows it to penetrate the skin quickly and easily. Unlike some thicker oils, it doesn't leave a greasy film on the surface, making it ideal for deep hydration without clogging pores.
3. Healing, soothing and repairing
Hazelnut oil has anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe skin irritation and inflammation thanks to the presence of vitamin A. This vitamin also stimulates cell regeneration, helping to repair and heal the skin. It is particularly useful for treating skin conditions such as acne, eczema and psoriasis.
Bonus: Beneficial for the hair
Hazelnut oil not only benefits the skin, but the hair too! It can be applied to the hair to nourish and strengthen it. It helps repair split ends, prevent breakage and add shine to dull hair. Massaging this oil into the scalp can also stimulate blood circulation, promoting hair growth.
