Can you use walnut oil on your face?

Many people hesitate to apply vegetable oil to their face, fearing it will make their skin oily or aggravate blemishes. But not all oils are created equal. Walnut oil, in particular, has remarkable properties for skin that is sensitive, reactive, or prone to redness.

A rich and balanced composition

Walnut oil is naturally rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are essential for strengthening the skin barrier, nourishing the skin without clogging it, and soothing inflammation. It also contains vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin from the oxidative stress responsible for premature aging.

Is it comedogenic?

Contrary to popular belief, walnut oil is not comedogenic. It absorbs quickly without clogging pores. It is perfectly suited for skin that is sensitive, dry, or prone to atopy.

Studies support its effectiveness

Several scientific publications demonstrate the positive effects of omega-3s and polyphenols on reducing skin inflammation. These elements are naturally present in the PDO Grenoble walnut oil that we use at Novëm.

How to incorporate it into your routine?

- Apply 2 to 3 drops morning and evening to clean, slightly damp skin.
- Gently massage from the center of the face outward.
- Use it alone or in addition to your usual cream.
