Babassu Oil

Orbignya oleifera

Babassu oil is made from the fruits of the Brazilian babassu palm, which resemble coconuts in appearance. But not just the fruit, all of the different parts of the palm are used in a number of ways. The leaves and trunk are utilized as building materials and fertilizers, for example.

Babassu oil in cosmetic products absorbs quickly into the skin, without feeling too heavy or leaving a greasy film. It protects against moisture loss and leaves the skin feeling supple and soft. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, it is also very suitable for blemish-prone skin. As babassu oil is rich in vitamin E, it offers powerful antioxidant benefits, protects the skin from free radicals and prevents premature skin aging.
