Walnut oil BIO - cold pressed

CAS: 2236997

Walnut oil is obtained from the fruits of the walnut tree and contains unsaturated fats that are essential for the body, as the body cannot produce them on its own. Walnut oil has been used in Europe for culinary enrichment and cosmetic enhancement since Roman times.

These fats are called essential fatty acids, which are divided into two types: omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acids. The body obtains the necessary unsaturated fats through food or through the skin. Walnut oil is also a rich source of vitamins B and E. Among plant oils, it ranks second in omega-3 fatty acid content.

Walnut oil in cosmetics

Skin aging
Walnut oil is an important ingredient in cosmetic products. Due to its vitamin E content, which protects blood vessels from aging, it is excellent for use in anti-aging skin care products. The oil creates a protective layer on the skin that prevents water loss. When acids on the skin come into contact with the oil, a cold reaction occurs and an alkali is formed, giving the skin moisture. The oil cleanses all three layers of the skin: the epidermis, the dermis, and the subcutaneous tissue. It can also be used on dry, damaged, and problem skin.

Recipe: eye cream:
– 1 teaspoon beeswax
– 2 teaspoons coconut oil

Place a pot of water on the heat. In a glass jar, mix the wax and coconut oil and place it in the pot of water. Once the wax has melted, add the walnut oil. Mix well, remove the jar from the stove, and add the rose water or distilled water. Pour the mixture into a small jar and leave to cool. The cream is ready to use.
