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.

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.

Healthy Glow Oil Dominant fatty acid Feel
Buriti Oleic (omega 9) Rich, enveloping
Sea buckthorn (pulp) Palmitoleic (omega 7) Silky, very coloring
Rosehip Linolenic (omega 3) Dry, absorbs quickly
Carrot macerate Depending on the carrier oil Light, fluid
