WALNUT OIL
INCI: Juglans regia seed oil
What is Juglans regia seed oil?
Walnut oil is obtained from the plant Juglans regia, commonly called a walnut tree. It is a large deciduous tree bearing fruits. The seeds inside the fruits are edible with a good, rich flavor. It is native to the Balkans, the eastern region of the Himalayas, and southwest China. It is now widely cultivated in parts of Europe as well. The seed of the plant has high nutritional value and is used in foodstuffs and also as herbal medicine. The oil consists of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids like oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, and other saturated fats. It is used in foodstuff and also in cosmetic and personal care products.
Use & Benefits:
- Emollient Properties: Walnut oil functions as an emollient, forming a thin film on the surface of the skin to protect it from allergies, bacteria, and irritants that penetrate deeper skin layers. This helps prevent conditions like acne, eczema, dryness, and itchiness.
- Skin Barrier Enhancement: As an emollient, walnut oil fills the gaps between dead cells and maintains the lipid barrier, thus retaining moisture in the skin and making it appear softer, smoother, and healthier.
- Anti-Aging Effects: As skin ages, it loses firmness and elasticity due to decreased collagen and elastin production, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation. Walnut oil helps reduce these effects by enhancing collagen and elastin production.
- Moisture Retention: Walnut oil helps keep the skin hydrated by retaining moisture, contributing to a smooth, rejuvenated, and even-toned appearance.
- Versatile Ingredient in Formulations: It is used in formulations of creams, lotions, gels, makeup, sun care products, and other skincare products.
