Hazelnuts become ripe seven to eight months after pollination. The nuts are used as culinary delights by eating them raw, roasted, or ground into a paste. Hazelnuts can also be cold pressed for aromatherapy. However you use them, your body will love their rich nutritional content. They contain proteins, 9% saturated fat, 74% oleic acid (omega 9), 17% linoleic acid (omega 6), a very slight amount of omega 3, significant amounts of thiamine, smaller amounts of Vitamin B6, other B vitamins, Vitamin E, minerals, and other antioxidant properties.
There is evidence on the isle of Colonsay, Scotland that Hazelnuts have been eaten since the Mesolithic era of 9,000 years ago. Today, Turkey is the world’s largest producer of Hazelnuts, although they are grown in Europe, and the USA (Oregon and Washington). Because Hazelnut refers to any species of the genus Corylus, we must not confuse Hazelnuts with their cousins the Filbert. Although a look a like, the Filbert is usually, larger and more oval in shape.
Hazelnut Carrier Oil is great for any kind of skin treatment, especially facial oils. It’s slightly astringent properties, help it to absorb quickly into the skin, without leaving an oily residue. It nourishes the skin, helps to strengthen capillaries, encourages cell regeneration, stimulates circulation, and is a good sun screen. Hazelnut carrier oil can be used with all skin types in aromatherapy, but is especially well suited for oily, acne prone skin. It is gentle, tonifying, anti-inflammatory and moisturizing. It’s fine texture will leave your skin feeling smooth and silky. I use hazelnut carrier oil in the Rejuvenating Facial Oil I sell on AromatherapyCelebrations.com.
Hazelnut Oil’s aroma is light, although nutty and sweet. It’s color is yellow and texture thin. Like most carrier oils, it is sensitive to heat and light and is best stored in the refrigerator to ensure that it does not go rancid. In recommended storage conditions, it should keep for 12 months.
