Product name: Organic Babassu Oil
INCI name: Attalea speciosa

Origin: Brazil

Our organically crafted Babassu Oil or Cusi Oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of the Orbignya Oleifera, also called Babassu Palm or Babaçu. Native to Brazil and found throughout the Amazon in South America, the Babassu Palm is an important resource to communities that rely on it for food, cosmetic, and traditional uses. The seeds are sustainably collected, and our procurement methods help to support the Brazilian cooperative that collects the seeds.

Solid at room temperature, Babassu Oil is similar to Coconut Oil in its applications and appearance. But because Babassu Oil is more lightweight - it's a great alternative to the heavier Coconut Oil, which can be too rich for some applications. Babassu Oil contains fatty acids that are highly beneficial to the skin, including high concentrations of Lauric Acid and Myristic Acid, which both have a cooling effect when applied to the skin.
