🌍 Ancient Roots in Europe & Asia
Origins: The Corylus avellana tree is native to Europe and Western Asia, particularly thriving around the Mediterranean basin, the Caucasus region, and the temperate zones of Europe.

Name origin: The species name "avellana" comes from Avella, a town in southern Italy, where hazelnuts were historically cultivated and prized by the Romans.

Archaeological evidence shows hazelnuts were consumed by prehistoric peoples over 9,000 years ago, particularly in Scotland and Scandinavia.

Though the oil itself wasn’t mass-extracted or preserved in ancient times like olive oil, hazelnuts were crushed to make pastes and nutrient-rich preparations, which likely included the oil as a byproduct.

🏛️ Use in Ancient Rome and Greece
The ancient Romans and Greeks considered hazelnuts to be symbols of wisdom and fertility.

While olive oil was their dominant cosmetic base, hazelnuts were occasionally ground and used in soothing skin applications, especially for dry, irritated, or sun-damaged skin.

🧴 Rise in Use as a Cosmetic Oil (19th–20th Century)
It wasn’t until the 19th century—with advances in cold-pressing and oil preservation—that hazelnut oil began to be used more deliberately in cosmetic and therapeutic contexts.

It gained popularity in France and Italy, where it was used for massage therapy, facial treatments, and as a light base oil in natural perfumery and skincare products.

🌿 Modern Popularity
In the 20th and 21st centuries, hazelnut oil became especially valued in natural beauty circles for:

Its astringent but gentle nature (ideal for oily and sensitive skin).

Its high Vitamin E and fatty acid content, making it a regenerative and antioxidant-rich oil.

It’s now commonly found in:

Natural and organic skincare lines

Anti-aging serums

Hair care products for balancing oil and adding shine

Culinary applications (especially in gourmet and Mediterranean cuisines)

🛡️ Cultural Symbolism
In Celtic mythology, hazelnuts were seen as sacred fruits of knowledge and poetic inspiration.

The hazel tree was often associated with protection, wisdom, and healing—attributes that align well with its modern wellness uses.
