A high-value base for large-scale skincare and haircare formulations
Walnut oil supplied in a 1 liter volume is intended for studio-scale and small industrial cosmetic production, as well as for laboratories and workshops that need a steady stock of raw material without frequent reordering. The oil is obtained by cold pressing walnut kernels, which preserves a high concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E and phytosterols valued for skin nourishment and recovery. This ingredient belongs to the Liquid Basic Oils category, which gathers lightweight plant oils that absorb quickly and work well both as a formulation base and as an additive to finished products.
The main field of application for walnut oil is skincare and haircare: face and body creams and lotions, products for mature or dry skin, hair-strengthening formulas and treatments for split ends, massage oils and lip balms. It is widely used in anti-cellulite blends and after-sun care because it softens skin without leaving a greasy film. Beyond cosmetics, walnut oil is used in the food industry as a dressing and food additive, and in the pharmaceutical sector for dermatological formulations. In household chemical products it is occasionally added to home care lines, while in candle making it is used less often, mainly as a supplementary softening component.
In formulations, walnut oil combines well with other nut oils, allowing manufacturers to build compositions with layered performance. It is often paired with Hazelnut Oil for a lighter final texture, or blended with Kukui Nut Oil, which boosts hydration and adds extra comfort to the skin feel. For delicate eye-area formulas or sensitive facial skin, walnut oil can be complemented with Avellan Nut Oil, known for its light texture suited to fine formulations.
In industrial production, the oil is introduced during the oil-phase blending stage, at temperatures not exceeding 60-70 degrees Celsius, to avoid degrading heat-sensitive compounds. Recommended dosage in cosmetic formulations ranges from 5 to 30 percent of the total oil phase weight, depending on the desired texture and product purpose. The oil remains stable at room temperature, but for long-term storage of the larger volume, a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight is recommended, slowing oxidation and preserving the raw material's properties throughout its shelf life.
For workshops operating with consistent order volumes, the 1 liter pack ensures predictable supply and reduces the frequency of reordering, which simplifies production planning.
