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.

GENERAL APPLICATIONS

Traditionally and in modern usage, candlenut oil serves as:

  • Skin emollient: Moisturizes dry, cracked, or flaky skin.
  • Hair treatment: Softens hair, adds shine, and reduces dryness.
  • Cosmetic ingredient: Base oil for massage oils, lotions, and facial serums.

CANDLENUT COLD PRESS GRADE B CARRIER OIL – By DDistillers

INCI Name: Aleurites moluccanus (Seed) Oil
Product Category: Single Carrier Oil – Purity 100%
Product Code: BB00414_CNS-CP-B
Barcode:
HS Code: 1515.90.99
CAS No.: 8015-80-3
FEMA No.:

Extraction Method: Cold Pressing.


PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Candlenut or Kukui Nut Grade B Carrier Oil is a plant-based oil derived from Grade B Aleurites moluccanus seeds through a cold-press extraction process at low temperatures to retain natural bioactive compounds. It has a light yellow to slightly darker hue, a stronger nutty-beany aroma, and low viscosity, allowing for fast skin absorption.

Primary Fatty Acid Composition (GC-MS analysis):

  • Linoleic acid (C18:2): approx. 44–60%
  • α-Linolenic acid (C18:3): approx. 17–23%
  • Oleic acid (C18:1): approx. 12–18%
  • Palmitic acid (C16:0): approx. 5%

Naturally contains vitamin E (tocopherols) and minor phenolic compounds that contribute to antioxidant activity. Due to its high iodine value (136–167), it is prone to oxidation and requires proper storage.


BOTANICAL & MORPHOLOGICAL PROFILE

  • Scientific Name: Aleurites moluccanus (L.) Willd.
  • Family: Euphorbiaceae
  • Tree Height: Up to 30 m with erect trunk and spreading branches.
  • Leaves: Heart-shaped to oval on mature trees, 10–20 cm in length; young leaves often 3–7 lobed.
  • Flowers: White; male flowers ~5 mm, female flowers ~9 mm.
  • Fruit: Drupe, ~4 cm diameter, hard shell with a single seed rich in oil.
  • Natural Distribution: Southeast Asia, Polynesia, Hawaii, and other tropical regions.
