Acai Fruit Oil - Wild Harvested & Unrefined

Acai fruit oil is a powerful antioxidant, originating from the Amazon rainforest, and provides many benefits to maintaining the cutaneous balance. Its structure is mainly composed of anthocyanins, phytosterols, and essential fatty acids (EFA's). Among the phytosterols present in the acai oil are the beta-sitosterol, the stigmasterol, and the campesterol, which are widely used by the cosmetic industry as a preventive of skin aging by promoting cellular metabolism and reduction of inflammation.

It is no coincidence that the color of the acai is similar to that of red wine. The anthocyanins are responsible for color, an antioxidant substance that helps fight cholesterol and free radicals. However, acai oil has p to 33 times more anthocyanins than grapeseed oil.

Acai fruit oil is anti-aging. Due to its high anthocyanin concentration, it has an exceptional antioxidant strength to neutralize damaging free radicals on the skin. The profile of fatty acids in the acai oil qualifies it as a special cosmetic oil, mainly due to its linoleic acid (Omega 6) and oleic acid (Omega 9) content. Acai oil protects the skin against dehydration and improves ceramides' production indicated for dry or aged skin.
