From the Latin nüx, nucis, “nuts” are the dried fruits of the Gods. Thus, walnut oil is very noble, and is one of the best antioxidant oils due to its content of naturally antioxidant components including vitamin E and polyphenols.

The composition of walnut vegetable oil is strongly influenced by the conditions of production. To ensure its quality, it is recommended to select an extra virgin oil, obtained by cold pressing, such as the one we offer at Prodigia.

Under the INCI name of: Juglans Regia Seed Oil, walnut oil has a yellow-green, or golden color, and a fruity odor, close to walnut. Its texture is thick and its taste is fragrant and pronounced.

Walnut oil is rich in fatty acids: monounsaturated: 15 to 23% oleic (Omega 9), polyunsaturated: 53 to 55% linoleic (Omega 6), and 12 to 15% alpha linolenic (omega 3). It also contains other active constituents such as vitamins E and K1, polyphenols, and phytosterols. This gives it properties: emollient, antioxidant, nourishing, regenerating, softening and soothing skin.
