Buriti (Aguaje) oil for skincare

100% Natural | Cold-Pressed | Cosmetic Ingredient for Skin & Hair Care | Origin: Peru

Cold-pressed from the fruit of the Amazonian palm Mauritia flexuosa, buriti oil has a striking red-orange colour. Its distinctive shade comes from its naturally high carotenoid content, particularly beta-carotene.

Rich in plant-derived fatty acids and naturally occurring antioxidant compounds, buriti oil is used in skincare for dry, dehydrated and rough skin, and in haircare for dry, damaged hair that has lost its shine.
