Cacay Oil - Certified Organic

Cacay Oil is a cold-pressed oil, extracted from the seeds of the Cacay tree (Caryodendron orinocense), native to Brazil. Known for its impressive nutrient profile, Cacay Oil is rich in essential fatty acids, Vitamin E, and Vitamin A precursors, making it a highly sought-after ingredient for skin and hair care.

Key Benefits:

• Vitamin A Precursors: Cacay Oil contains high levels of Vitamin A precursors, particularly retinyl esters. These compounds, when applied to the skin, are absorbed and converted by the body into retinol, which is the active form of Vitamin A. Retinol is a powerful ingredient known for its ability to support skin regeneration, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve overall skin texture. Importantly, while Cacay Oil contains these precursors, it does not contain retinol directly – it relies on the body’s ability to convert the precursors into active retinol.

• High Linoleic Acid Content: With 68.04% linoleic acid, Cacay Oil helps to nourish and maintain the skin’s natural moisture barrier, promoting skin hydration and elasticity. This makes it an excellent choice for moisturising and soothing dry or sensitive skin.

• Antioxidant Protection: Rich in natural tocopherols (Vitamin E), Cacay Oil provides antioxidant protection, helping to neutralise free radicals that can damage skin cells and accelerate aging. This supports the skin’s resilience and overall health.

Suggested Uses:

• Skin Care: Apply directly to the face and body for its anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, and deeply moisturising effects.

• Hair Care: Use as a hair treatment to enhance shine, improve silkiness, and protect from split ends.
