WALNUT OIL

WALNUT OIL is a limpid, light-coloured oil, delicate in flavour and scent, with a slightly nutty quality. This oil is high in polyunsaturated fats. It contains about 20% Oleic acid and 60% Linoleic acid (Omega 6). Walnuts are the only nuts that contain a significant amount of Omega 3 (Linolenic acid). Omega 3 has an anti-inflammatory effect and it helps to maintain a supple and youthful skin. WALNUT OIL also contains natural Vitamin E. In its role as a captor of free radicals, vitamin E protects cells from attacks by free radicals by neutralizing them. Topical vitamin E has shown to have a wide variety of skin benefits. Many studies have shown that it can help decrease the effects of psoriasis, erythema, and may help in reducing the risk of skin cancer. Vitamin E also helps in the reduction of scaring from wounds and on the appearance of stretch marks on the skin. WALNUT OIL is highly hydrating and nourishing due to the Omega 6 content.
