Hawaiian Kukui Nut

More than a thousand years ago, the fragrant kukui tree was lovingly brought to Hawaii by Polynesian seafarers. They used its trunk to craft canoes, its oily seeds to make candles and its seed coats as cattle crop. The explorers spent long, days in the ferocious sun, and when they wiped their face, every bead of kukui nut blessed them. Before long, the kukui’s deep moisturising and antioxidant properties freed the weather-beaten faces from heat-induced blisters.
