Description

Babassu Butter is composed of Babassu Seed Oil, which is derived from the cold pressed kernels of the Amazonian Orbignya oleifera botanical, and of non-GMO Soy Butter. Babassu Butter has a smooth, thick, and rich consistency that melts slowly on contact with the skin, absorbing well and moisturizing gently but deeply to impart a velvety suppleness without leaving an oily sheen. Babassu Oil is refined, making it a pleasing addition to organic cosmetic formulations for both dry and oily skin. With properties and benefits that are similar to Coconut Oil, Babassu products are commonly used as substitutes.

Aromatic Description: Mild to no scent.

Babassu is packed with vitamin E, which is a dynamic antioxidant capable of supporting existing elastin and skin collage while simultaneously shielding it from damage which is sustained from free radicals.

Babassu is a palm tree native to Brazil that yields fruits similar to coconuts that are harvested for both babassu oil and babassu butter. The Babassu palm is also known as the Tree of Life, thanks to the skin-friendly properties the seeds of the tree offer. Babassu butter – which is cold pressed, ensuring that the oil retains its nutrients – melts on contact with skin, so it can easily penetrate the skin’s surface, offering rich moisture and a wide range of nutrients.

It is rich in vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that helps not only support existing collagen and elastin from damage caused by free radicals, it also helps stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin proteins, helping skin stay supple and radiant with fewer fine lines and wrinkles.

Babassu is also packed with fatty acids, which help support the membranes between skin cells, reducing the risk of sagging. Fatty acids also help skin cells retain balanced moisture levels, so skin looks more plump and youthful and is less prone to breakouts.

Uses of Babassu Butter

Babassu oil and butter are wonderful additions to homemade soaps, especially when added as a moisturizer after the saponification process, when the oils can provide the most benefits.

It is also an excellent option for healing cracked, dry feet and can keep hair strong and radiant when used as a deep conditioner.

Because it is similar to coconut oil, babassu butter can also be used in cooking.
