Product Description
Experience the purity of organic Babassu oil from the Babassu palm. The fruit is harvested after falling from heights of up to 25m, and our oil is processed in Italy from raw material produced in the Dominican Republic.
Our process begins with carefully extracting kernels from the fruit, followed by cold pressing to preserve its natural goodness. Refined to perfection, Babassu oil mirrors the benefits of Coconut oil in a soft, light yellow butter format, offering a superior alternative albeit at a higher cost.
With up to 60% oil content, Babassu is rich in saturated fats and essential nutrients. As an excellent carrier oil, its virtually odourless profile makes it an ideal base for blending with essential oils, ensuring optimal absorption and efficacy.
INCI Listing: Orbignya Oleifera Seed Oil
Frequently asked questions
What is organic refined babassu butter?
It is the organic grade of refined babassu nut fat from Orbignya oleifera (INCI: Orbignya Oleifera Seed Oil). It is white and near odourless, melts on contact with skin and suits organic and natural ranges.
Can babassu replace coconut oil in soap and balms?
Yes, its lauric-rich profile behaves much like coconut oil, giving firm bars and a fluffy lather in soap, and a quick-melting, dry feel in balms and lip products.
Where does the babassu come from?
The raw babassu nuts are of Dominican Republic origin. The butter is suitable for food flavouring use, subject to the usual formulation considerations, although it does not carry food certification.
What pack sizes are available?
From 500g up to 5kg, all priced online.
