Kukui Nut Oil
Aleurites moluccana, cold expeller pressed in Hawaii
Contains: Very high in linoleic acid, oleic acid
Uses: extremely good penetration to all skin levels, soothes irritation, sunburn, lesions, burns. Protects tissue from drying.
Cosmetic chemists report that Kukui oil has an excellent skin feel. They say the Kukui oil seems to be readily absorbed into the skin (it does not leave a greasy film). It seems to make chapped or rough dry skin feel smooth, silky, and soft.
Kukui Nut Oil seems to prevent scarring when applied to abrasions.
Kukui oil is a good protective oil, protecting from sunburn and windburn. In Hawaii newborne infants were traditionally anointed with kukui nut oil to protect their skin from sun and salt.
Please note that because of Kukui Nut oil's extremely short shelf life, the producer adds a small amount of Vit. A, C, and E, natural anti-oxidants, to preserve it. We, of course, store our bulk supply under nitrogen to prevent oxidation.
