Babassu Oil is a light, versatile, and nourishing oil extracted from the seeds of the Babassu palm tree, native to Brazil. Rich in lauric acid, myristic acid, and vitamin E, it shares many of the same qualities as coconut oil but with a lighter, drier texture, making it ideal for a wide range of cosmetic, personal care, and hair care applications.
At room temperature, Babassu Oil is solid but melts easily upon contact with the skin, providing a silky, non-greasy feel. It is highly moisturizing, non-comedogenic, and naturally anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial, making it perfect for sensitive, acne-prone, or irritated skin.
