Discover our Unrefined Pequi Oil

Pequi oil is derived from the seeds of the pequi fruit (Caryocar brasiliense), which grows primarily in the Brazilian savannah (Cerrado region). The fruit itself is small, round, and yellow, and it has a strong, distinctive aroma. Pequi oil, often used in traditional Brazilian medicine and cosmetics, is gaining popularity in skincare and haircare products due to its nourishing properties.

Here are some key benefits of pequi oil:

1. Rich in Nutrients
Pequi oil is packed with beneficial nutrients, including:

- Fatty acids (such as oleic acid and linoleic acid), which help nourish and hydrate the skin and hair.
- Vitamins A, C, and E, which help promote healthy skin, protect from oxidative stress, and encourage cell regeneration.
- Antioxidants, which help protect the skin from environmental damage.

2. Moisturizing and Hydrating
Pequi oil is known for its excellent moisturizing properties, helping to keep skin and hair hydrated. Its ability to deeply penetrate the skin makes it effective in treating dry, rough, and irritated skin.

3. Anti-Aging Properties
The oil's high vitamin A content promotes collagen production and skin elasticity, which can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The antioxidants in pequi oil also protect the skin from free radical damage, supporting a youthful appearance.

4. Healing and Soothing
Pequi oil has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties that can help soothe and heal the skin, making it beneficial for conditions like acne, eczema, or psoriasis. It also helps to reduce redness and irritation.

5. Haircare Benefits
In hair care, pequi oil is used to condition and strengthen hair, prevent dryness, and reduce frizz. Its rich fatty acids help nourish the scalp, promoting healthier, shinier, and more manageable hair. It can also support hair growth and reduce scalp inflammation.

6. Regenerative Properties
The oil supports the regeneration of skin cells, which is particularly useful for scar healing and overall skin repair.

Pequi oil is usually found in hair oils, skin creams, and balms, and it's also used as a massage oil or added to hair masks for deep conditioning.

Due to its potent effects and high content of vitamins and fatty acids, pequi oil is highly valued for its versatility in both skincare and haircare routines.
