Buriti: The Amazonian Glow
Derived from the fruit of an Amazonian palm tree, buriti oil contains one of the highest levels of beta-carotene in the plant kingdom. Orange and precious, it revives a healthy glow, nourishes the skin, and helps protect it from daily stress. Its enveloping texture makes it a sensory finishing treatment, also appreciated for hair.

In short
What this oil contains
Two signatures: a nourishing fatty acid profile and a high carotenoid content.
Dominated by oleic acid (omega 9, about 73% of the lipid profile, alongside palmitic acid — Darnet et al., 2011), it owes its rich texture and enveloping feel to this profile. Its deep orange color indicates its record content of beta-carotene; it also contains tocopherols (vitamin E) with recognized antioxidant power.
