What is MAURITIA FLEXUOSA FRUIT OIL used for?

Mauritia Flexuosa Fruit Oil is a powerhouse ingredient loaded with anti-aging, hydrating, and restorative properties. Its natural origin and rich nutrient profile make it a favorite in both skin and hair care products.

Skin care: Mauritia Flexuosa Fruit Oil is deeply nourishing for the skin and leaves it soft and supple. It is high in provitamin A and vitamin E, which neutralize free radicals and prevent premature aging. It also repairs the barrier of the skin that helps improve elasticity and resilience. Mauritia Flexuosa Fruit Oil is beneficial for sun-damaged skin and is often used in calming balms and relief formulas. Additionally, due to its high carotenoid content, it gives a warm tint and a natural glow to the skin.

Hair care: Mauritia Flexuosa Fruit Oil strengthens the hair strands by replenishing the lipids in dry, brittle, or chemically treated shafts. It also deeply conditions the scalp and hair to support overall health.

Origin

Mauritia Flexuosa Fruit Oil is derived from the fruits of the Buriti palm (Mauritia flexuosa) tree, native to Brazil. The pulp of this fruit is separated and mechanically cold-pressed to extract the oil without applying any heat to preserve its bioactive compounds. This oil is then filtered and stored in dark, airtight containers to prevent oxidation.
