Description

Sustainably harvested from the seeds of the Orbignya Oleifera palm native to Brazil’s lush Amazon basin, Babassu Oil is a beautifully light, fast-absorbing emollient that delivers deep hydration without heaviness.

Often called “Cusi Oil”or “the featherweight alternative to coconut oil,” Babassu is prized in modern skincare and haircare formulations for its silky texture and nourishing versatility.

Our premium, organically crafted Babassu Oil is cold-pressed and gently refined to remove impurities while preserving its rich nutrient profile. It’s packed with Lauric Acid and Myristic Acid, two medium-chain fatty acids that have demonstrated antimicrobial and soothing benefits for skin barrier health, plus natural tocopherols (Vitamin E) that help neutralize free radicals caused by UV exposure and environmental stress.

Organic Babassu Oil is comprised of 40- 48% Lauric Acid, a medium chain fatty acid that is highly sought after for its beneficial role within skin care. Organic Babassu Oil is particularly well suited for skin care formulations intended for mature, severely dry, damaged and problem skin and for hair care products intended to nourish, hydrate and condition the hair and scalp.

Light at room temperature yet deeply moisturizing on contact, Babassu melts luxuriously into the skin, leaving it soft, supple, and satin-smooth without a greasy residue.
