Essentially Natural Babassu Oil is a lightweight (non-greasy), nourishing oil refined from the seeds of the Babassu palm. Known for its moisturizing and emollient properties, it is an excellent alternative to coconut oil. Babassu Oil is typically used in both skincare and haircare alike.

HOW TO USE
Usage Rates for Babassu Oil:
Leave-On Products (e.g., lotions, creams, serums): Use 1-10% for light moisturization or up to 15% for more intensive hydration.
Rinse-Off Products (e.g., conditioners, hair masks, cleansers): Use 3-10% for a lightweight, moisturizing effect.
Anhydrous Products (e.g., balms, body butters): Use up to 20-30% for a rich, creamy texture.
Formulation Tips:
Substitute for Coconut Oil: Babassu Oil has a similar composition to coconut oil but is lighter and absorbs faster. It works well in formulations where coconut oil might feel too heavy.
Compatibility with Other Oils: Blends well with oils like jojoba, argan, or rosehip for a balanced emollient profile.
Solid at Room Temperature: Babassu Oil is solid below 24C (75F) and melts on contact with skin. This makes it a great choice for solid balms or whipped body butters.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Allergic Reactions: Although rare, some people may experience an allergic reaction. A patch test is recommended for sensitive individuals.
Not for Nut Allergies: Babassu Oil is derived from palm seeds, so those with nut allergies should use it with caution.
Solid at Cooler Temperatures: Babassu Oil solidifies below 24C (75F), which may affect texture in certain formulations.
Eye Irritation: Avoid direct contact with eyes, as it may cause mild irritation.
Not for ingestion/consumption: This is not a food-grade product and is not intended for internal use.
