2024 January - Discover the Beauty Secret of the Amazon: Cacay Nut Virgin Oil

Unveil the ageless beauty within you with our exquisite Cacay Nut Oil (Caryodendron Orinocense), sourced from the heart of the Amazon rainforest. Renowned for its enchanting properties, this oil is well known to be enriched with natural retinol (Vitamin A), powerful antioxidants, and nourishing fatty acids, offering a rejuvenating experience like no other.

Our valued supplier in the department of Meta, Central Colombia, stands as a beacon of responsible agricultural care. With 46 hectares of Cacay cultivation, they prioritise water sources, enrich soil, and collaborate with local families, ensuring them an income and promoting reforestation.

The cacay tree is renowned for its multifaceted utility, earning the moniker "The Vegetable Cow" among certain communities. Every part of the tree is harnessed, from the husk for animal feed or compost to the shell for slow-burning biofuel. The nutrient-rich nut, often called a "super nut," boasts a wealth of proteins, minerals, omegas, and fibre. The oil extracted from the cacay nuts (surpassing even olive oil, Argan and Rosehip Oil in its properties) finds purpose across cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and the food industry. The flour emerges as a high-protein, fibre-rich source of nutrition, while the tree's nectar becomes a unique, delectable honey thanks to local bees. Nut milk prepared from the flour serves not only as an animal milk substitute but also contributes to functional beverages.

• Renowned to be enriched with the powerhouse combination of natural retinol (Vitamin A), vitamin E, and nourishing fatty acids, this exquisite oil redefines your skincare experience.

• Unlock the secrets of ageless beauty as Vitamin A stimulates skin cell turnover, reducing fine lines and imparting a youthful glow.

• Omega-3, -6, and -9 fatty acids deeply nourish and hydrate, while antioxidants like vitamin E safeguard against environmental stressors.

• Cacay nut oil's unique blend of linoleic and oleic acids offers balance for various skin types, addressing aging, dryness, and irritation with natural efficacy.

Rosehip Oil varies in colour from yellow to deep orange. Rich in carotenoids, particularly beta carotene, it acts as a natural precursor to Vitamin A, promoting radiant skin by reducing fine lines, enhancing barrier function, and preventing environmental damage.

Olive oil is a cherished all-purpose carrier oil renowned for its versatility in cosmetic manufacturing. Widely embraced by aromatherapists, manufacturers, and massage therapists, this highly nutritious and viscous oil not only serves as a conditioning agent in hair care products but is also a key ingredient in crafting soaps and cosmetics.

Argan Oil has a storied history in Moroccan skincare and haircare. Its hydrating and rejuvenating properties, coupled with a notable content of Oleic and Linoleic Acid, enhance the skin's protective barrier, add shine to hair, and lock in vital moisture.
