Rich in oleic acid, vitamin E, and antioxidants, it is prized for its moisturizing, nourishing, and skin-repairing properties. Known for its fast absorption and non-greasy feel, Hazelnut Oil is widely used in skincare, hair care, and cosmetic formulations. It helps balance oily skin, tighten pores, and improve skin elasticity. Additionally, it finds applications in food flavoring and pharmaceutical products as a natural emollient and carrier oil.
