Description
Babassu Oil
Orbignya martiana
Indigenous to Brazil, the Babassu tree is known as the Tree of Life. This oil has similar properties in soap-making to Coconut or Palm Kernel oil, being high in lauric acid, giving good lather and also containing high palmitic acid content to add hardness to bar soaps. It is also an excellent emolient oil when applied directly to the skin, producing a cooling effect and has been shown to form a protective, soothing coat with a velvety feel.
Babassu Oil is cold-pressed and refined. The refining process includes deodorising and bleaching.
