UNREFINED PRACAXI OIL

Description

INCI: Pentaclethra Macroloba Seed Oil

Application

Pracaxi oil is obtained by cold-pressing the seeds of the Pentaclethra Macroloba tree (also known as the Umbrella tree). It is a light yellow liquid with a nutty fragrance, which may deepen in color to a darker yellow depending on storage. The oil absorbs well and leaves a smooth, soft feeling on both skin and hair.

Unrefined Pracaxi oil is a highly valuable cosmetic ingredient, renowned for its excellent regenerative and healing properties. It is frequently used in formulations targeting acne, as well as in treatments for stretch marks and scars. The oil is popular both as a base and as an active ingredient in hair care products and can significantly enhance the effectiveness of other cosmetic ingredients. Its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties make it especially beneficial for skin issues such as acne.

Rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids such as oleic, linoleic, and behenic acids, Pracaxi oil is prized for its nourishing and restorative effects. It is ideal for skin care, particularly for dry and normal skin, and for hair care. It helps reduce pigmentation and scars while improving overall skin texture.
