Babassu Oil

INCI: Orbignya Oleifera Seed Oil

CAS: 91078-92-1

Introducing our Babassu Oil, a lightweight and highly versatile plant-derived oil widely used in the cosmetics and toiletries industries. Extracted from the kernels of the babassu palm, this oil is valued for its excellent skin-conditioning properties and smooth, non-greasy feel.

Babassu Oil is known for its rich fatty acid profile, particularly lauric and myristic acids, which help provide effective moisturising and skin-softening benefits. It works as an emollient, helping to condition and protect the skin while supporting moisture balance.

With a melting point close to skin temperature, Babassu Oil melts instantly on contact, delivering a light and silky feel without leaving a heavy residue. This makes it especially suitable for formulations where a lightweight alternative to coconut oil is desired.

Babassu Oil is commonly used in a wide range of cosmetic applications including creams, lotions, balms, body butters, and hair care products. In haircare, it helps improve softness, shine, and manageability without weighing the hair down.

Its mild aroma and pale colour make it easy to incorporate into fragranced and coloured products, while its stability supports consistent formulation performance.
