Cold-pressed from pecans grown in San Saba, Texas, this fluid golden oil is the signature ingredient in M. Carya’s pecan oil skincare. Its major fatty acids are oleic and linoleic acid, although the precise balance can vary with the pecan varieties, growing conditions and processing.
In a complete formula, pecan oil functions as an emollient, contributing glide, softness and a conditioned after-feel for dry or changing skin. M. Carya works directly with Oliver Pecan Company to source the oil and maintain a closer understanding of how it is pressed, settled, filtered and stored.
