Bio Kukui Nut Seed Oil + White Copal is a premium botanical blend combining the lightweight, conditioning qualities of kukui nut seed oil with the warm, resinous and gently balsamic aroma of white copal.
Kukui nut seed oil is valued in cosmetic formulation for its silky texture and naturally high content of unsaturated fatty acids. It spreads easily, absorbs without an excessively heavy finish and is particularly suitable for products intended for dry, rough, mature-looking or environmentally stressed skin.
In haircare formulations, kukui oil can help improve softness, shine and manageability while conditioning dry ends and reducing the appearance of frizz.
White copal contributes a sophisticated aromatic profile with woody, resinous, softly balsamic and incense-like nuances. The combination creates an elegant botanical ingredient suitable for facial oils, body serums, hair treatments, beard oils, balms, creams and natural perfume formulations.
