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.

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.
