The Heart of M. Carya: Cold-Pressed Pecan Oil

At M. Carya, we believe in honoring natural ingredients that bring nourishment, comfort, and a sense of place. Our very first formulations began with a Texas treasure, cold-pressed pecan oil.

What Makes Pecan Oil Unique

Pecan oil is pressed from the nut of the pecan tree, a tree deeply rooted in the Texas landscape. Using a traditional cold-pressing process, the oil is produced without heat or solvents. This method preserves the oil’s natural nutrients, color, and silky texture.

The result is a golden oil that is light, elegant, and quickly absorbed. It leaves skin soft and smooth without any heaviness.

Skin Benefits of Pecan Oil

Pecan oil is naturally rich in:

Oleic acid – helps nourish and soften the skin while enhancing flexibility

Linoleic acid – supports the skin barrier and locks in hydration

Vitamin E and other antioxidants – protect against environmental stressors that can accelerate visible signs of aging

This balance of fatty acids and antioxidants makes pecan oil an excellent choice for dry or mature skin. It provides hydration, protection, and a smooth finish that feels both natural and luxurious.

Rooted in Texas

We source our pecan oil from orchards in San Saba, Texas. This connection to local growers allows us to work with fresh, sustainable batches that tie our brand to the richness of the American prairie. Choosing pecan oil was not only about efficacy for the skin, but also about celebrating the landscape and heritage that inspire M. Carya.
