Kukui oil has been used on the island of Hawaii for centuries, after first being introduced by Polynesian settlers. Traditionally, Kukui was used to protect the skin of babies from sun, salt, and other elements and was a favoured massage oil for Hawaiian Royalty.
Kukui exhibits rejuvenating and soothing effects on the skin and does not leave a greasy after feel. It is an excellent moisturiser, and is suited for dry or damaged skin and hair.

I use this oil in a number of products and it's one of my favourites. I have curly hair and if it gets too dry I put a little on my hands and run it through my hair. It helps with frizz and makes your hair soft.
A great moisturising oil perfect base oil doesnt leave the skin greasy
Love this oil, I use it every morning on my face, like a serum. Kukui oil is not greasy & it leaves the skin so soft, I follow by my moisturiser then foundation. Great for hair on dry ends.
really thick and 'waxy' which was great in a shaving balm which is what I bought it for
Love this oil, has a nutty fragrance which I like and also absorbs quickly so does not feel greasy.
