Kukui Nut Oil While coconut oil is known to hydrate dry and scaly skin, kukui nut oil (Lupita Nyong'o loves this stuff) proves to be its less greasy cousin. Yale-trained dermatologist Rhonda Klein, MD, says that this natural Hawaiian moisturizer has been used for centuries to soothe dry and damaged skin. The secret, she says, lies in the oil's formula, which is rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants.
According to Dr. Z. Paul Lorenc, MD, it also absorbs fairly quickly into skin and hair. "It can make rough skin and hair feel smooth instantly," Lorenc explains. "It is an ancient Hawaiian beauty secret that seems to have a magical lure when it comes to its popularity."
