Balancing and softening.

Formerly a wild plant, the hazelnut tree, once considered to be magical, was for instance used by dowsers to identify the presence of water. Very sweet, the Hazelnut Carrier Oil is first and foremost appreciated for its soothing and energizing effects. Due to its high concentration of omega-9 and vitamin E, an antioxidant ingredient, it moisturizes, protects and helps maintain the skin's elasticity and suppleness. Penetrating and non-comedogenic, its sebum-regulating action helps treat oily or blemished skins. Softening and nourishing, it is equally recommended for dry to very dry, delicate or irritated skin types.   

• Main properties: Moisturizing, nourishing, protective, softening, soothing, balancing, regenerating.
