THERE'S MORE TO THE LABEL...

We take a lot of effort to be sure that we never say anything about our products that is not the truth.  If you are a voracious label reader, then you've probably seen that on our Kukui Oil we say the following:

Clinically proven to significantly increase moisture levels in the skin. Kukui oil is hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic.

moisturize

Main Entry: mois•tur•ize

:to add moisture to 

Kukui Oil is rich in omega 3 fatty acids and is easily absorbed into the skin, allowing for a promotion of overall skin health.  Its transdermal properties allow it to penetrate deep into the skin where skin problems begin.

AMA Laboratories, Inc. examined the moisturization benefits using a Novameter on three sites per test subject.  Novameter readings were taken at intervals of 15 minutes, 30 minutes, one hour, and three hours per site.  The results conclusively demonstrated the effectiveness of maintaining a positive moisture level.  

hypoallergenic

Main Entry: hy•po•al•ler•gen•ic

:having little likelihood of causing an allergic response

Consumer Product Testing Co. conducted a Repeated Insult Patch Test (RIPT) to determine by repetitive epidermal contact the potential of a test material to induce primary or cumulative irritation and/or allergic contact sensitization.  All evaluations of the test site for every participant were negative throughout both testing phases, showing no adverse effect on the skin.   Therefore, under the conditions of this study, pure kukui oil with Vitamin E did not indicate a potential for dermal irritation or allergic contact sensitization.

non-comedogenic

Main Entry: non•com•e•do•gen•ic

:not tending to clog pores (as by the formation of blackheads)

We do not have a clinical testing on this claim, but for twenty years we have collected anecdotal testimonials.  This natural botanical oil penetrates quickly and therefore does not leave a coating on your skin that would block pores.  We have had many customers that use the oil to remove eye makeup and cosmetics with no concern about pore clogging.  No one has indicated any problem with blackheads or negative skin reaction.
