Kukui oil is extracted from the nut of a tree (Aleurites moluccana) which is found in the forests of the Far East and  Hawaii.

The oil is a clear, pale yellow and non greasy. It is highly ranked as a polyunsaturated vegetable oil and could be used in cooking but is more popularly used for skin, hair and cosmetics.

The oil contains good sources of linoleic acid (LA) and gamma linolenic acid (GLA) which puts it on a par with borage oil and evening primrose oils. It also contains vitamins, A and E.

Ideal for revitalising and rehydrating sun-damaged, dry and mature or aged skin. The oils are found in lotions for treating eczema and psoriasis.
