Nutmeg Kernel Oil (Myristica Fragrans Kernel Oil)

Myristica Fragrans Kernel Oil is a lipid-rich botanical oil obtained from the kernels (seeds) of Myristica fragrans (nutmeg), appreciated in cosmetic formulations for its emollient, skin-conditioning, and sensory-enhancing properties. It helps support softness and suppleness by reinforcing a smooth, comfortable feel on the skin, and can contribute to a more polished texture in anhydrous systems and rich emulsions. Depending on processing and composition, it contains a balance of fatty acids and naturally occurring aromatic constituents that may impart a warm, spicy nuance to the overall profile, making it suitable for sensorial body care and massage concepts. Myristica Fragrans Kernel Oil is commonly used in balms, body butters, creams, facial oils, soap bars, hair oils, and scalp treatments, typically at low to moderate use levels; as with many fragrant botanicals, careful dosing and tolerance-oriented formulation are recommended, particularly for sensitive skin types.
