Corylus Avellana (Hazelnut) Seed Oil
This plant oil is cold-pressed or refined from the seeds of the hazelnut tree and rich in triglycerides like oleic and linoleic acids. It works as a lightweight emollient that softens texture, improves slip, and supports a supple feel in face and body products.

Our take
Is Corylus Avellana (Hazelnut) Seed Oil a Good Ingredient?
A lightweight emollient that supports softness and barrier feel, with good oxidative stability and a low likelihood of irritation for most users; benefits are mainly sensory rather than treatment‑level. That combination of solid performance and generally low risk earns it a Good rating, short of Great.

Where you'll find it
Uses in Skincare & Cosmetics
Found in facial oils, moisturizers, and body creams for lightweight nourishment, and often blended into serums for added emolliency.
Before you use it
Safety
Generally safe for topical use, but individuals with tree‑nut allergies should patch test first. Oxidized oil can be more irritating, so proper storage is recommended.
