VIRGIN BACABA OIL 1KG

ORIGIN 

This single-trunked palm is most well-known in  the state of Paro, occurs in areas of poor, heavy and non­-flooded soils. It can grow in shade, but prefers more open areas.

POPULAR USE

The fruits are consumed as a regional beverage called "wine of bacaba", similar to "wine of acai", but much higher in calories and much oilier than acai. Juices and ice creams are also manufactured by local industries. Traditionally bacaba oil is used to revitalise the scalp.

CHARACTERISTICS

Bacaba oil is greenish and fragrant, with physio-chemical properties similar to that of olive oil. The high content of linoleic acid (16%), an essential fatty acids (EFA), which is one of the lipid components of the skin, helps to reduce trans-epidermal water loss and to prevent the skin from drying out.

High levels of unsaturated oleic and linoleic fatty acids account for Bacaba oil's emollient properties, making it suitable for use in skin and hair care products.

SKIN CARE
