Aleurites Moluccana Seed Oil

Kukui Nut Oil is a lightweight, fast-absorbing fixed oil cold-pressed from the seeds of the Aleurites moluccana tree, traditionally used by Native Hawaiians to soothe and protect skin from harsh environmental conditions. It is exceptionally rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid (40–42%) and alpha-linolenic acid (28–30%), giving it an unusually dry, non-greasy skin feel that distinguishes it from heavier tropical oils. Formulators prize it for its ability to rapidly penetrate the stratum corneum, replenish essential fatty acids in compromised skin barriers, and impart a silky after-feel in facial oils, after-sun preparations, and products targeting dry or sensitive skin.
