Hazelnut Oil

The oil pressed from hazelnuts.

Pale yellow liquid.

Thin and smooth.

Slight oily scent, nothing too noticeable.

Very fast—hazelnut oil is a “drying oil” in that it absorbs so quickly it leaves the skin feeling dry to the touch.

Oil

It’s astringent and sinks into the skin so quickly that it speeds up the absorption speed of anything you put it in.

No, but I would recommend you own at least one drying oil, and hazelnut is much less expensive than rosehip.

I’ve only ever used refined, and I like it.

It’s very light, astringent, and is said to boost circulation and tone the skin.

It’s obviously not a good choice for anybody with nut allergies.

Rosehip oil is similarly fast absorbing, but significantly more expensive.

I like it in lotions, and blended with heavier oils (like evening primrose) to lighten them up.

Stored somewhere cool, dark, and dry, pomegranate oil should last at least two years.

If you really want a nutty scent in your product, try using food grade hazelnut oil.
