Guava Seed Oil - Organically Cultivated Unrefined

The guava tree originates from Mexico or Central America, is a tropical fruit, and cultivated in many parts of Brazil. The fruit is consumed fresh or made into a sweet beverage called “goiabada”. Guava is considered one of the super fruits due to its high content of Vitamin C, exceeding the content in citrus juices. Therefore, it is used as an additive to other juices and purees, strengthening their Vitamin C nutrition.

Guava oil (Psidium guajava) has very nourishing and soothing properties. It is an excellent source of beta-carotene, polyphenols, and vitamins A, K, and the B complex, copper, zinc, selenium, and phosphorus as well as having a high concentration of linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid. Guava oil stands out containing large amounts of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant known for its protective action against cell-damaging free radicals. It is applied as an active beneficial ingredient in topical skincare formulations to protect skin cells from premature aging and damage caused by UV rays and environmental pollution. Studies have shown that guava oil has good antimicrobial activity and because of its astringent properties, it develops stable anti-acne preparations. It is also widely used as an active ingredient in many topical formulations for skincare.
