Origin

Corylus Avellana Seed Oil comes from hazelnuts (Corylus avellana), which are first harvested and cleaned. The nuts are then dried and subjected to mechanical pressing, often through cold pressing to preserve their nutritional properties. This process involves crushing the nuts to extract the oil, which is then filtered to remove any impurities.
