Babassu Oil - Refined Organic
BCO-BABSU-ORG-60ML
Organic Babassu Oil is a versatile emollient with a light, non-greasy feel, ideal for use in personal care and soap formulations. It is composed primarily of lauric acid (45–50%), which provides excellent skin conditioning properties. The oil absorbs quickly into the skin, making it suitable for moisturizing and softening products without leaving an oily residue. Its balanced fatty acid profile also supports hair care applications, offering conditioning and smoothing benefits. Babassu Oil is especially well-suited for sensitive and oily skin types due to its mild and non-comedogenic nature.
Babassu has a high content of lauric and myristic acids, whose melting points are relatively close to body temperature. This oil is often mistaken for a butter as it is a soft solid at room temperature. Babassu oil has similar properties to coconut oil and is increasingly being used as a substitute. This oil is refined without the use of chemicals.
