Nuez Acres: Creating Clean Skincare with Pecan Oil

Canadian skincare brand Nuez Acres is bringing to the beauty aisle a formula that contains an ingredient that is not commonly associated with skincare – pecans! Sourcing this nut from a family farm in Mexico and processing it in the lush Fraser Valley, co-founders Nancy and Anthony Wingham are positioning pecans to be more than delicious.

Nuez Acres, an Indigenous-owned and woman-led beauty brand from Langley, BC is using 100% natural pecan oil in their range of skincare products. The founders started the company with the aim to make high-quality self-care and health products that would bring people value and have already won two CertClean Beauty Awards (mascara and beard care).

Knowing the incredible benefits of pecans, and with the support of Nancy’s family farm, the duo turned their venture into a family business. They now make a range of pecan oil products that are traditionally and organically harvested from seed to skin.

Collaboration Between Canada & Mexico

As the first brand of its kind in Canada, the duo is setting the standard for high-quality and sustainably sourced pecan oil products. The organic pecans and fine ingredients used in their formulations come from the Nuez Acres family-owned farm in the northern town of Parral, Mexico and are processed locally in Langley. The area has a history of pecan farming for centuries. The locals know and understand sustainable harvesting and water conservation’s importance.

For More Than Delicious Pies!

Pecans are nutrient-rich and renowned for being a part of delicious pies, desserts, toppings, and even salad dressings. It is composed of only 9.5% saturated oil, which is lower than any other fat used for cooking. This means that the remaining is all good fat which helps lower high cholesterol levels. It has been used since the 1500s in its places of origin, namely, South America, Central America and some of North America. Indigenous tribes have used pecan oil in natural remedies to help cure and prevent illnesses and later began to use the oil as a restorative ingredient for the skin.
