Babassu Oil

Babassu Oil


Babassu Oil is derived from the Babassu palm tree (Orbignya oleifera, Arecaceae), a species native to the tropical rainforests of South America and primarily distributed in the alluvial plains and riverbank areas of Brazil, Guyana, Venezuela, and other countries. This tree can grow to a height of 15-20 meters, featuring broad pinnate leaves and clustered, coconut-like fruits with hard shells. The kernels have an oil content as high as 45%-50%. The Babassu palm exhibits exceptional environmental adaptability, thriving in humid and rainy tropical climates. It is traditionally revered by indigenous communities as the "Tree of Life," with its kernel oil widely used in food preparation, medicinal care, and personal care products. 

Babassu Oil is extracted from the kernels of the Babassu palm through processes such as shelling and drying, followed by cold-pressing or refining. Cold-pressed Babassu Oil appears pale yellow with a natural nutty aroma, retaining abundant fatty acids and active compounds. Refined Babassu Oil undergoes deacidification, decolorization, and deodorization, resulting in a nearly colorless and transparent appearance with a mild scent and significantly enhanced stability, making it suitable for cosmetic formulations requiring stringent sensory characteristics.
