Also known as Candle nut tree, Kukui Nut trees grow up to 20 meters in height, distinctive in their light green silvery foliage, usually grow wild on the lower slopes of the mountains. The fruits or nuts of the Kukui Nut tree are rich in oil of a pleasant nutty odor. Kukui nut oil is a lightweight, fast-absorbing oil derived from the kukui nut tree (Aleurites moluccanus), native to Hawaii. It is rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins that deeply nourish both skin and hair. Kukui Nut Carrier Oil is cold pressed from the fruits of Kukui Nut tree to retain high levels of natural polyunsaturated fatty acids. This light natural oil is used today in all high quality skin preparations due to its ability to quickly penetrate the skin. For centuries Hawaiians have used Kukui Nut oil to protect skin from salt water, harsh sun and drying winds. It is excellent for dry skin, psoriasis, eczema or any severe skin condition.
