Pistachio oil

Pistachio oil (CAS 90082-81-8), cold-pressed from the kernels of Pistacia vera, is a premium fixed oil used across food, cosmetic, and industrial formulations. Known commercially as Pistacia vera ext., it delivers emollient and lubricating performance. In personal care, it functions as a carrier oil and skin-conditioning agent in facial serums, hair oils, massage blends, and luxury moisturizers where a non-greasy emollient profile is commercially desirable.

Food manufacturers incorporate it as a specialty culinary oil and flavor-forward ingredient in gourmet dressings, confectionery coatings, and premium baked goods for high-end consumer markets. In cosmetic formulations, its light texture supports spreadability in leave-on skin and hair products without requiring heavy emulsification systems, making it ideal for clean beauty product lines.

Coatings and adhesive formulators may also evaluate it as a bio-based lubricating component where natural-origin raw materials are specified to meet sustainability goals and technical requirements. Pistachio oil is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid, typically in bulk drums or smaller packaging suited to cosmetic and food production scales for efficient manufacturing and logistics.

It is available in food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications, with cold-pressed variants preferred for premium personal care and culinary positioning where high nutrient density is a priority. Refined grades are also available for applications where a neutral profile and extended shelf stability are priorities, ensuring consistent performance across various industrial and commercial uses.
