Patauá oil is a powerful hydrating agent, with a high oleic acid content (Omega 9) and unique properties, such as light texture (non-greasy).

The oil extracted from the patauá mesocarp appears as a greenish, transparent liquid, sharp odor and taste similar to that of olive oil (Olea europaea), as well as in its physical appearance and fatty acid composition. Its high degree of unsaturated fatty acids is notable.

Highlights:
For Skin Care
Due to its high oleic acid content, natural Patauá Amazon oil has excellent moisturizing properties to recover dry skin, through the formation of a lipid film on the epidermis.

Patauá oil revitalizes and nourishes the hair. It can be applied in formulations of products against dandruff and revitalizing hair. It is also widely used in products for fine and fragile hair. In addition, it is perfect for protecting the wires against the thermal action of the dryer.
