The Product

The Kukui nut tree (pronounced coo-coo-ee), is the official state tree of Hawaii. Botanically it is classified as aleurites moluccana.

The Kukui tree is unique and conspicuous for its light gray-toned foliage. Kukui trees grow on the lower slopes of the mountains, especially in steep canyons. The trunks grow straight upwards, attaining heights of 80 feet or more, with diameters up to 2 1/2 feet. Branches form at 30 feet or more above the ground. Attractive, green-tinged white flowers bloom at the end of the branches.

• Kukui Nut Oil may be used on all skin types and is considered to be beneficial for dry skin, eczema, psoriasis, sunburn and acne.
• Kukui Nut Oil is wild-harvested, bio-degradable and a wholly natural product. It is 100% guaranteed.

Kukui fruits later form on the branches. The “skin” of the fruit is a hard green covering 1/4 inch thick and as the fruit matures it turns a dark grayish-black and softens. Inside the fruit are one or two hard, wrinkled nuts. At first, the nutshell is white, but as it ages, it turns brown, and finally black. Popular Kukui nut leis are made from polished nuts.

Hundreds of years ago, Hawaiians discovered that when the shells were removed from Kukui nuts and the kernels lightly roasted, a clear oil could be extracted from them. They found that the oil was an excellent penetrating oil and it was, and still is, widely used as a remarkable skin-care aid and natural moisturizer. When smoothed on the skin, Kukui oil is a soothing balm for burns of all kinds, including sunburn, skin irritations and other skin problems. After hundreds of years of use and experience, Hawaiians believe that Kukui nut oil is effective for dry, chapped skin, psoriasis, acne and eczema. Hawaiians use the oil today as their preferred skin-care product that helps protect their skin from harsh sunlight, drying winds and salt water.

This treasured health and beauty secret has been rediscovered by Oils of Aloha and is produced today in the same pure form as it was centuries ago. Kukui nut oil is unique among moisturizing oils.

Kukui Nut Oil has a very high content of essential fatty acids that are the building blocks of healthy skin tissue. Skin tissue fortified with Kukui Oil helps prevent moisture loss and thus helps minimize or prevent skin damage.
