Babassu Oil is a native Brazilian palm tree, which may grow to a height of 20 meters. The name Babassu comes from the Tupis (an Amazonian tribe), whereas its genus name "Orbignya” comes from the French paleontologist A.D.d'Orbigny who first discovered the palm in the early 1800’s in South America. The fruit of the Babassu palm forms several clusters that bear 500 or so fruits that look like small coconuts. Its principal product is a clear, stable oil that may be used in cosmetics and toiletries after refinement. The oil becomes a soft solid at room temperatures (below 24° C), but melts readily upon contact with the skin. Babassu Oil is a very fast penetrating oil that may be used in creams, lotions, balms, and lipsticks, bar soaps or any anhydrous formulations.

Suggested Use Levels: Lotions & Creams: 3-5%, Balms: 3-10%, Bar Soaps: 2-7%, Hair Conditioners: 3-5%.
