Botanical Name: Orbignya oleifera
Extraction Method: Cold Pressed
Origin: Brazil, Amazon Region
Our organically crafted Babassu Oil is cold pressed from the seeds of the Orbignya oleifera palm, more commonly known as the Babassu Palm. Native to Brazil and thriving throughout the Amazon rainforest, the Babassu Palm is a vital resource for local communities—used in everything from cooking to traditional medicine. Our seeds are sustainably harvested, supporting Brazilian cooperatives that help protect the biodiversity of the region while empowering indigenous economies.
Naturally solid at room temperature, Babassu Oil resembles Coconut Oil in both texture and versatility, but offers a lighter, more breathable alternative—making it ideal for those with sensitive or easily congested skin. It’s rich in Lauric Acid and Myristic Acid, both of which offer a cooling, soothing effect upon application, along with deeply moisturizing benefits.
Lightweight Moisturizer: With its soft, silky texture and quick absorption, Babassu Oil hydrates without leaving a heavy or greasy feel—perfect for all skin types, especially oily or acne-prone skin.
Antioxidant & Anti-Inflammatory: Packed with tocopherols (Vitamin E), Babassu Oil helps fight free radical damage from UV rays and pollution, while reducing redness, irritation, and inflammation.
Versatile Skincare Hero: A gentle emollient ideal for use in creams, lotions, body butters, and balms, thanks to its ability to soften and smooth skin while enhancing product texture.
Hair Health & Scalp Therapy: Babassu Oil deeply conditions hair, helping to control frizz, repair dry or damaged strands, and promote shine and manageability. It also soothes scalp irritation and helps combat dandruff and inflammation.
Natural Alternative to Coconut Oil: Ideal for those who love coconut oil but need a lighter-weight, non-comedogenic option that works beautifully across skin and hair applications.
