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.
Film Forming
Creates a physical seal on skin to lock moisture in and keep irritants out. The "slugging" ingredient — barrier protection.
Humectant
A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.
Locks in moisture
Traditional Use
Hazelnut has been used in European skincare and beauty traditions for its nourishing oil and skin-conditioning properties. Hydrolyzed hazelnut protein was developed in contemporary cosmetics to isolate and concentrate the plant's protein components for enhanced skin benefits.
