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.
THERAPEUTIC BENEFITS
(EVIDENCE-BASED)
- Hair Growth:
Nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) formulations with 5% candlenut oil in
animal models enhanced hair growth, likely due to essential fatty acids
nourishing hair follicles.
- Psoriasis & Dry Skin:
Small clinical trials show kukui oil is safe as a moisturizer; however,
its anti-psoriasis effect was not significantly different from mineral oil
(further research needed).
- Antioxidant & Anti-inflammatory:
Demonstrates antioxidant activity in DPPH and FRAP assays and potential
anti-inflammatory effects in in-vitro models.

CANDLENUT HOT PRESS GRADE B CARRIER OIL – By DDistillers
INCI Name: Aleurites moluccanus (Seed) Oil
Product Category: Single Carrier Oil – Purity: 100%
Product Code: BB00412_CNS-HP-B
Barcode: –
HS Code: 15159099
CAS No.: 8015-80-3
FEMA No.: –
Extraction Method: Hot pressing.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Grade B Candlenut (Kukui)
Oil
is a vegetable oil extracted from Aleurites moluccanus seeds using a hot
pressing method at approximately 80–120 °C. This grade is derived from seeds
that are still suitable for processing but not entirely premium quality
(including darker-colored or smaller-sized seeds), resulting in different
sensory attributes compared to Grade A.
Hot pressing increases
oil yield and deactivates oxidative enzymes (e.g., lipase and lipoxygenase).
However, a combination of lower raw material quality and heat exposure can
reduce levels of heat-sensitive bioactive compounds.
Key Characteristics:
- Color:
Medium golden-yellow to yellowish-brown, generally darker than Grade A.
- Aroma:
Strong roasted nut scent, more pronounced than Grade A.
- Viscosity:
Low; easily absorbed by the skin.
- Oxidative Stability:
More resistant to enzymatic degradation due to heat inactivation; however,
still requires proper storage due to its high iodine value.
Fatty Acid Composition
(GC-MS):
- Linoleic acid (C18:2): ± 40–55%
- α-Linolenic acid (C18:3): ± 14–20%
- Oleic acid (C18:1): ± 12–17%
- Palmitic acid (C16:0): ± 5–6%
- Stearic acid (C18:0): ± 2–3%
Bioactive Compounds:
Contains tocopherols (Vitamin E) and minor phenolic compounds with antioxidant
activity, though generally in lower amounts compared to cold-pressed or hot
press Grade A oils due to both raw material quality and heat processing.
Recommended Applications:
Ideal for use as a base ingredient in cosmetic formulations, massage oils, soap
making, and hair treatments where premium sensory attributes are not the
primary priority.
