oils-of-aloha-kukui-nut-oil.jpgThe pounding of the waves and the cool breeze blowing off of the ocean can be the distracting elements that make you forget that the sun is not only beating down on you, but is in fact quite close to you.  Sunburns are a normal occurrence to many beach goers, whether visiting or local.  The difference between the victims is that the locals know how to take care of their sunburns; they turn to Kukui nut oil.

The Kukui nut tree, the named translated means enlightenment, is the state tree of Hawaii.  In ancient times, the tree and the nut had many uses ranging from a kind of candle to food.   In modern times, we use the Kukui nut shells for leis and the oils for treating a variety of skin ailments.

Kukui nut oil is extracted by cold pressing the nut.  Kukui nut oil contains vitamins A, C, and E, which are antioxidants, and are also rich in natural and healthy fats.  It is the combination of the natural fats and the vitamins that make Kukui nut oil so beneficial.  The oil can penetrate down into the deepest layers of the skin, lock in moisture, and provide a barrier between the sun, wind, and other natural elements.  Commonly used as a moisturizer for all skin types, including chronic dry skin, Kukui nut oil can be used to relieve burns, psoriasis, insect bites, cuts, and eczema.  Kukui nut oil can also be used to prevent scars and acne.

Kukui nut oil is natural, greaseless, and safe for use on babies, as well as other types of sensitive skin.  Oils of Aloha, a major manufacture and premier producer of several Kukui nut oil products, has created several different products featuring Kukui nut oil.  These include oils for massage, lotions, hair care, lip balm, and after-sun lotions and creams.  

Whether used to relieve sunburns or to nourish dry skin, Kukui nut oil is the all-natural solution that will not only heal your skin, but will give it a nourished and healthy glow.
