Written By GET FRESH INDUSTRIES

Discover the benefits of natural kukui nut oil and lemon for your skin: the duo you didn’t know you needed.

Natural skin is in.

We all want just a hint of Mother Nature’s beauty — and what better way than to honor her ingredients?

While we use a variety of fresh, clean ingredients, two of our favorite skincare superheroes are kukui oil and lemon (name a better duo, we’ll wait!).

Let’s break down each natural ingredient’s benefit and how it can be used to enhance your skin’s natural glow.

Natural Kukui Nut Oil Benefit #1

Hydrates Dry, Irritated Skin

Kukui nut oil is filled with rich fatty acids that work to repair and heal your skin. Forming a natural barrier, the oil quickly absorbs into your skin for deep, unmatched hydration.
