Kukui Oil Hawaii

The kukui tree is the state tree of Hawaii and produces large nuts. Polynesians brought seeds of the tree to Hawaii. For centuries, they pressed the oil out of the nuts for use in religious ceremonies, paintings, and candles. They also use the kukui nuts to make many traditional dishes. 

Hawaiians use almost every part of the tree, including the leaves, bark, flowers, and sap. The flowers are often used to make the leis that have become synonymous with the Hawaiian islands. However, kukui nut oil has become famous globally for its benefits to hair, skin, and the immune system.

The oil contains a lot of poly and monounsaturated fats, linoleic acid, vitamins C, D, and E, and other antioxidants. These ingredients can do wonders for your body. The oil is super lightweight, which makes it ideal for beauty products. Below are many different benefits of using kukui nut oil.
