Babassu oil, a natural skincare ingredient, is gaining popularity due to its hydrating, protective, and soothing properties for the skin. Originating from the babassu palm tree in South America, this oil is extracted from the kernels or seeds of the tree (Attalea speciosa) native to Brazil. The extraction process involves pressing or expelling the kernels to obtain the oil, aiming to preserve its quality and purity.
With its beneficial attributes like moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, skin restoration, and antioxidant properties, babassu oil is similar to coconut oil but lighter and absorbs faster into the skin. Babassu oil contains abundant antioxidants that shield the skin from environmental stressors and premature aging, while also providing soothing relief to irritated and inflamed skin. Both oils solidify and melt upon skin contact, generally safe for sensitive skin with a patch test recommended for new users.Â
Aari Body prefers babassu oil for its effectiveness on dry skin and suitability for all skin types, offering more health benefits compared to coconut oil. Being non-comedogenic, babassu oil does not clog pores, preventing breakouts and irritation, while enhancing skin elasticity, especially beneficial for mature skin. Included in body butters by Aari Body, this versatile oil is favored for its numerous advantages and is a valuable addition to any skincare routine, appealing to both skincare enthusiasts and customers seeking quality products.
