Cold-Pressed Kiwi Seed Oil is one of nature’s most elegant and nutrient-dense botanical oils, beloved in high-end skincare formulations for its extraordinary omega content, silky texture, and unmatched ability to nourish, soften, and restore the skin barrier. Extracted gently through cold pressing of Actinidia deliciosa seeds, this exquisite oil maintains the full integrity of its essential fatty acids, vitamins, antioxidants, and restorative phytonutrients—making it a luxury ingredient for serums, facial oils, balms, and hair treatments.

Lightweight and fast-absorbing, Kiwi Seed Oil is exceptionally rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid that plays a vital role in maintaining moisture levels and supporting the skin’s natural defenses against environmental stress. With up to 60–65% omega-3, it stands as one of the most concentrated and potent sources of plant-based essential lipids available for cosmetic formulation. This unique fatty acid profile helps strengthen the skin’s lipid barrier, reduce transepidermal water loss, and improve elasticity—ideal for mature, dry, sensitive, or compromised skin.

The natural vitamin content of Kiwi Seed Oil enhances its rejuvenating properties. Its abundant vitamin E (tocopherols and tocotrienols) provides powerful antioxidant activity, helping to neutralize free radicals and promote smoother, brighter, more resilient skin. These antioxidants support healthy collagen production, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and encourage an even, radiant complexion. For formulators seeking a natural anti-aging component with strong functional performance, Kiwi Seed Oil is a top-tier choice.

Kiwi Seed Oil is also known for its soothing, calming qualities, making it particularly beneficial for sensitive or inflamed skin types, including those with redness, irritation, or post-treatment sensitivity. Its gentle emollient action softens and hydrates without leaving a greasy residue, while its omega-3 and omega-6 balance helps regulate skin function, restore harmony, and reduce signs of stress. Whether used as a standalone facial oil or blended with complementary botanicals, it delivers profound comfort and moisture.

For haircare formulations, Cold-Pressed Kiwi Seed Oil offers exceptional protection and shine. Its lightweight composition penetrates quickly into the hair shaft, helping to smooth frizz, seal split ends, and add a natural glossy finish. It’s especially suitable for curly, color-treated, fragile, or dry hair, enhancing softness while protecting against breakage. As a scalp treatment, it helps replenish moisture and nourish the follicles for stronger, healthier-looking growth.

Cosmetic formulators value Kiwi Seed Oil not only for its skin benefits but also for its versatility. It blends beautifully with other luxury oils such as raspberry seed, blueberry seed, rosehip, pomegranate, and prickly pear seed oil. Its stability and light texture make it ideal for fine facial serums, whipped body creams, eye oils, premium balms, hair serums, and after-sun products. It also pairs perfectly with high-end essential oils such as neroli, rose otto, helichrysum, blue tansy, and frankincense.

From a sensory perspective, Kiwi Seed Oil is nearly odorless and pale in color, allowing formulators to maintain control over aroma and appearance. Its pleasant, non-greasy finish makes it outstanding for daily skincare, high-performance natural cosmetics, and premium wellness products.

Ethically sourced and extracted without heat or solvents, our Cold-Pressed Kiwi Seed Oil preserves the purity and potency of this extraordinary botanical. Rich in essential lipids, antioxidants, and natural phytonutrients, it is highly valued for its moisturizing, restorative, barrier-supporting, anti-aging, and soothing qualities. Whether used as a hero ingredient in luxury formulations or incorporated into multi-functional blends, Kiwi Seed Oil elevates any skincare or haircare product with its refined texture and exceptional performance.

With rising demand for plant-based, nutrient-dense, and high-performance cosmetic ingredients, Kiwi Seed Oil stands as a must-have for formulators seeking purity, functionality, and luxury. Its gentle yet powerful composition makes it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and its profound moisturizing and restorative effects have positioned it as a favorite in modern natural skincare.

Incorporating Kiwi Seed Oil into your premium formulations delivers outstanding benefits—hydration, elasticity, soothing action, antioxidant protection, and barrier support—making it an indispensable addition to any luxury skincare or wellness line.
