Refined hazelnut oil is a natural oil obtained from hazelnuts through a special process that increases their purity. The refining process, which follows the raw hazelnut oil obtained by cold pressing, lightens the color of the oil, lightens its odor and increases its purity. Refined hazelnut oil is widely preferred in cosmetics and skin care products.
Production: Refined hazelnut oil is produced by cold pressing quality hazelnuts and then refining them. This process ensures the removal of undesirable components (e.g. bad odor or color) while preserving the nutritional value of the oil. The refined oil can be safely used in skin care and hair care products.
Color, Aroma and Odor: Refined hazelnut oil usually has a light yellow or golden yellow color. The odor profile is quite mild and neutral, which makes it easily combinable with other active ingredients. Refined hazelnut oil is particularly preferred in perfumes, soaps and skin care products as its natural aromas are lightened.
Compatible Oils: Refined hazelnut oil is in perfect harmony with other natural oils such as jojoba oil, argan oil, rose oil, lavender oil, ylang-ylang oil and cocoa butter. These combinations nourish, moisturize and give the skin a healthy appearance. It can also be used effectively in hair care.
Warnings: Refined hazelnut oil is generally compatible with the skin, but for people at risk of allergic reactions, it is recommended to test it on a small area first. People who are allergic to hazelnuts should not use it.
Storage: Refined hazelnut oil should be kept in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. This preserves the oil’s effectiveness and prolongs its shelf life.
