Functions
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Astringent
Tightens and contracts skin tissue, temporarily shrinking pores and reducing oiliness. That "clean, tight" feeling after toner.
Conditions Skin
Reduces Inflammation
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Hazelnuts have been used since ancient times in Mediterranean and European traditions as a nutritive food and skin conditioning agent. The nuts were traditionally valued for their oil content and mild astringent properties in folk skincare preparations.
