Peanut Oil TX 8151 – Natural Carrier Oil for Skincare, Haircare & Massage

Peanut Oil TX 8151 is a high-quality cosmetic-grade vegetable oil cold-pressed from groundnuts (Arachis hypogaea) — a light golden liquid with a mild, barely-there nutty scent and a skin feel that sits in the sweet spot between richness and lightness. It absorbs readily without the heavy, greasy residue that heavier oils can leave behind, making it genuinely comfortable to wear on skin and easy to work with in formulations across a wide range of product types.

Its natural richness in oleic and linoleic fatty acids, combined with meaningful levels of vitamin E (tocopherols) and antioxidants, gives it real nourishing credentials beyond just being a carrier. It softens and hydrates skin, supports the skin barrier, and helps protect against environmental oxidative stress. As a carrier oil for essential oils and aromatherapy blends, it provides an excellent base — stable, skin-compatible, and neutral enough not to compete with the aromatic profile of the essential oils it carries. In haircare, it conditions and adds shine without weighing strands down. A versatile, well-rounded vegetable oil for professional cosmetic formulation.

⚠️ Safety Note: Not recommended for individuals with peanut or nut allergies. Perform a patch test before use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Formulation Tips

Use as a standalone carrier oil or blend with lighter oils (such as Fractionated Coconut Oil or Sweet Almond Oil) to adjust skin feel and absorption rate. In massage formulations, it provides excellent glide and a comfortable working time. In emulsions, add to the oil phase alongside other emollients. Its moderate oxidative stability benefits from the addition of a natural antioxidant (Vitamin E / Tocopherol) at 0.1–0.5% to extend shelf life. Shelf life is typically 12–18 months when stored correctly in a cool, dark place.
