Kukui nut oil, brought to Hawaii by early Polynesian settlers, is quickly absorbed into the skin. This oil is high in linoleic and linolenic essential fatty acids. Excellent for skin conditioning after sun exposure, as well as for acne, eczema, psoriasis, hemorrhoids, dry/wrinkled skin and offers good protection for outdoor sports. This oil is cold pressed and refined.
Kukui nut oil offers just the right amount of lubrication without leaving a greasy feeling. Excellent for chapped skin and may prevent scarring. Use in a 10%-15% dilution. For soapmaking, even 1-2/3 tablespoons added to 5 lbs. of soap just before incorporating the essential oils adds richness to the soap. A higher percentage, 10-20% of the total fats and oils, makes an outstanding soap. SAP value: 190.0. INCI: Aleurites moluccana oil.

it's a little expensive for my purse,but it carries it's own weight. i combine kukui oil with other omega 3 & 6 oils. i especially like that it does not have a strong odor. unlike some other omega oils, it provides significant benefit without an overpowering scent. it is noticeably nourishing to the skin and if you can afford it, holds up well on it's own.

I'm now on my third order of this wonderful oil -- it is my go-to oil for preventing & healing dry skin. I especially like it for my hands & wrists & apply a few drops whenever I wash my hands. Pale yellow in color, it has a very faint sweet slightly nutty scent that is barely detectable & does not linger on my skin although I wouldn't mind if it did. It is quite liquid & spreads easily but is not sticky or greasy although at first it seems as though it might be. The sheen that it leaves on the skin disappears quickly as the oil continues to be absorbed -- I put some on the back of my hand when I began typing this by now it is completely absorbed, there is no surface sheen & my skin feels lush & velvety.
OUT OF STOCK ISSUES: If a customer orders a large quantity of a product and all of the product is not in stock when the order is entered into our system, once the new stock arrives we will ship separately whatever quantity we may owe the customer. Most of our restocking orders arrive at our warehouse 5-7 business days after we place a restocking order, sometimes sooner. Should the distiller or vendor inform us restocking will take longer than 7 business days, we’ll promptly notify the customer.
Please note that we do not allow order cancellations for any reason and we don’t allow removal/cancellations of products which become partially or completely out of stock after the customer places an order.

EO's in 5 and 10 lbs. - heavy duty plastic container w/pouring spout, the oil may remain inside the container at least 2 months. EO's in sizes of 25+ lbs. - industry-standard metal or plastic can with a pouring spout, the oil may remain inside the metal can indefinitely and up to 2 months in the plastic pail.

If we ever run out of amber glass bottles, we reserve the right to use any other glass bottle available at that time. The only sizes of EO's dispensed with orifice reducers are 1/32, 1/16, 1/8 and 1/4 oz. sizes. If you require bottles/vials with orifice reducers or Eurodroppers, we sell those separately.
HOW TO STORE: Upon receipt, EO's dispensed in plastic bottles MUST be transferred into amber glass bottles. EO's, FO's and BUTTERS should be stored in tightly-sealed containers away from direct light and heat. Many oils could be highly flammable, keep away from open flames.
