Of all the ingredients used in natural skin care today, babassu oil is one of the best when it comes to smoothing and smoothing the skin. Let me tell you a little more about this wonderful gift of nature and its benefits in natural skin care.

Babassu oil, also called babassu wax or babassu butter, comes from the kernels of the babassu tree. When the nuts ripen and fall to the ground, the kernels are collected and split by “babassu breakers,” women who specialize in splitting the nuts. The meat is then removed from the fruit and pressed in oil.

The babassu tree itself is a palm tree that can measure approximately 20 meters in height. It is native to Brazil and is considered an important industrial and economic resource there. In fact, local people call the tree the “tree of life”, and for good reason. For centuries, each part of the tree has been used by local people for useful purposes, such as making flour, animal feed and medicine from the fruits, leaves woven into mats or of course the grains pressed to obtain oil, which the natives also used and continue to use it to soothe the skin.

Babassu oil is a clear, odorless, light yellow oil that is commonly used in the skin care industry, but also in the food and cleaning sectors. Babassu oil has similar properties to coconut oil and therefore, more and more, babassu oil is being used more and more as a substitute for coconut oil in different products.

It is high in lauric and myristic acids, which are valuable for the skin. Interestingly, these acids begin to melt at temperatures close to human body temperature, so when applied to the skin, babassu oil draws heat from the skin to initiate fusion. Therefore, this heat transfer creates a pleasant sensation of freshness on the skin.

The oil is a great moisturizer, as it is rich and nutritious. Babassu oil also forms an invisible protective and relaxing barrier on the skin, keeping applied dirt and grime out of the pores, but not clogging them. Babassu wax generally creates a nice, velvety feel on the skin.

Babassu oil is considered a superior emollient that is beneficial for both dry and oily skin and of course normal or sensitive skin types. It is especially beneficial for aging skin, whatever the skin type.

It gently hydrates skin without leaving a greasy glow and has proven healing benefits for eczema, itchy, extra dry and inflamed skin.

In good skin creams, the oil used has been cold pressed from babassu nuts and then processed without synthetic chemicals. It is then combined with other 100% natural ingredients to create superior skin care products.
