THERAPEUTIC BENEFITS

  • Hair Growth Support: 5% candlenut oil in nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) formulations increased hair growth in animal models, likely due to essential fatty acids nourishing follicles.
  • Skin Hydration & Psoriasis Care: Small clinical studies show kukui oil is safe as a moisturizer, though anti-psoriasis effects were not significantly different from mineral oil (further research required).
  • Antioxidant & Anti-inflammatory: Demonstrates free radical scavenging activity (DPPH, FRAP assays) and potential anti-inflammatory properties in in-vitro studies.

  • Skin emollient: Moisturizes dry, cracked, or flaky skin.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Candlenut (Kukui Nut) Carrier Oil is a plant-derived oil obtained from the seeds of Aleurites moluccanus using the cold pressing method to preserve its natural bioactive compounds.
It has a pale yellow color, a light nutty aroma, and low viscosity, allowing it to absorb quickly into the skin.

Typical Fatty Acid Profile (GC–MS analysis):

  • Linoleic Acid (C18:2): ± 40-60%

  • Palmitic Acid (C16:0): ± 4-6%

Naturally rich in Vitamin E (tocopherols) and phenolic compounds, this oil exhibits antioxidant activity. Due to its high iodine value (136–167), it is prone to oxidation and requires proper storage.
