Kukui Oil

Description

Kukui Oil

• is considered a light non-greasy oil and is high in the essential fatty acids linoleic and linolenic acids. These acids are vital for the metabolism of healthy skin.
• is easily absorbed by the skin
• soothes irritated, sunburned, or burned skin.
• can help relieve itchy and dry skin due to eczema, psoriasis and rosacea.

What is slightly unusual about this oil is that whilst most oils contain a high proportion of linoleic or linolenic acids or a high proportion of oleic acids Kukui oil contains high levels of both. This possibly makes the oil one of the best all round beneficial oils
