Most skin care products contain natural oils taken from nuts, plants and fruits. So why are these oils so great for your skin? Besides being natural, these oils have some valuable properties that are essential to skin care.

Kukui Nut Oil
Kukui nut, also known as candle nut or lumbang oil, is expressed from the nut of Hawaii's official state tree. Hawaiians have used this oil for centuries to protect and heal skin exposed to harsh sun, drying winds, and salt water. It is used in many facial products because it is light and moisturizing without being greasy. This oil absorbs well, leaving only a trace of oily feeling on the skin. It is a fairly expensive oil, with a very light, sweet, pleasant aroma.

Kukui Nut Oil may be used on all skin types. It is considered to be particularly beneficial for dry skin, eczema, psoriasis, sunburn, acne, and the dryness caused by radiation therapy. This oil does not cure these skin problems, but it provides effective treatment of the symptoms. Kukui Nut Oil softens the scales and provides lipids that are quickly absorbed by the skin. This slows the water lost through the skin, and helps keep the skin moisturized. The Kukui nut oil contains very high levels of the essential fatty acids linoleic and alpha-linolenic. This oil is a transparent, low-viscosity oil that is quickly absorbed in to the skin layers. Kukui Nut Oil contains vitamins A, C, and E -- all anti-oxidants that help protect and heal skin tissue. This oil is used a great deal in high-quality soaps because it adds richness and moisturizing properties to bar soaps and bath gels alike. Kukui Nut Oil creates a protective shield without clogging pores, while locking in moisture.

This unique oil, cold pressed from the nut of the Kukui tree, penetrates even the driest skin creating a protective shield without clogging pores. It locks in moisture to improve skin texture while allowing dry or damaged skin to heal naturally. The pure oil is very effective in providing relief for the dry skin and itching of eczema and psoriasis. The Kukui Moisturizing Cream also makes an ideal nighttime moisturizer as well as makeup remover. It is especially important to protect and nurture the delicate skin around the eyes and mouth, helping to prevent wrinkles by sealing in moisture. Because of the emollient properties of kukui nut oil, the lotion and cream rolls over your skin like silk!
