DESCRIPTION
Babassu Carrier Oil is extracted from the kernels of the Orbignya oleifera palm, a tree native to the Amazon and Cerrado regions. The local communities, particularly women’s cooperatives, have harvested and processed Babassu nuts for centuries, valuing the oil for its skin-conditioning properties and lightweight texture. Today, Babassu Organic Oil is sourced from the Netherlands and is a staple in personal care formulations as a natural and effective ingredient.
Refined to remove any aroma and color, Babassu Refined Organic Carrier Oil provides a neutral base that seamlessly integrates into a wide range of cosmetic applications. Its high concentration of lauric and myristic acids gives it a unique ability to melt upon contact with the skin. The lightweight, quick-absorbing quality of Babassu Oil makes it a preferred choice for formulators creating emulsions, serums, and leave-on treatments.
DIRECTIONS AND SUGGESTED USAGE
- Skin Care Formulations: Enhance moisturization in lotions, creams, body butters, and serums by incorporating 2% to 10% Babassu Refined Organic Carrier Oil. Its lightweight texture provides a silky finish without clogging pores.
- Hair Care Products: Improve conditioning and shine in shampoos, conditioners, and leave-in treatments with 1% to 5% Babassu Oil.
- Massage Therapy Blends: For a smooth-gliding, non-greasy massage oil, blend 30% to 50% Babassu Oil with other carrier oils such as Sweet Almond or Jojoba.
- Handmade Soaps: Improve lather and hardness in soap formulations by using 5% to 15% Babassu Oil. Its high lauric acid content contributes to a stable, creamy foam that is gentler alternative to Coconut Oil.
