Is Kukui Nut Oil Good or Bad for Your Skin? (March 2020)

What is Kukui Nut Oil?

Kukui nuts come from Hawaii (in fact, the Kukui tree is Hawaii’s state tree.)

These nuts have been used for centuries as a medicinal product and, in skin care formulations, the oil from the Kukui nut serves a variety of purposes. 

Benefits of Kukui Nut Oil

1. One of the biggest challenges to overcome in skin care is finding ingredients that will penetrate to the deepest layers of the skin. Kukui Nut Oil is one of few ingredients that can be absorbed into deeper layers of the skin.
2. Kukui Nut Oil forms a protective barrier over the top of the skin, which protects skin from environmental damage. It’s also an emollient, which means your skin will look smoother and softer.
3. This oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, which have a skin-calming effect that makes Kukui Nut Oil useful for treating sunburns, dry or damaged skin.
4. This is a “dry” oil. In other words, when you apply Kukui Nut Oil, it has a non-greasy feeling that won’t make your skin look slick or shiny.

Dermatological Tips 

Make Kukui Nut Oil part of your evening skin care routine to make sure your skin is protected while you sleep.

Other Ingredients to Consider

Argan oil, maracuja oil, and jojoba oil are similar to Kukui Nut Oil, but lack the ability to reach the deepest layers of the skin.

"Being a personal trainer, looking great is part of my job. Had recent string of break outs that really took their toll on my skin and wanted a solution that was simple to follow. Enter Tiege Hanley. After using it since it started, the talks about my skin went from 'what happened to your skin"' to 'what are you doing with your skin, its looks amazing'.
