Ungurahui oil organic

Ungurahui Oil is also known as Patauá Oil, Rahua Oil, Seje Oil or Bataua Oil. This exquisite carrier oil is organically crafted from the deep purple fruits of the tall Oenocarpus bataua palm trees in the rainforests of Brazil.

The berries are wild harvested, then processed using a traditional method, by soaking in hot water to separate the fruit pulp from the seeds. The fruit is then cold-pressed to obtain the silky light-gold oil. 

This oil is a wonderful base, additive, or stand-alone oil for skin and hair care.

Natives in the Amazon have long used this oil to prevent dandruff and hair loss, for which it is spectacularly suited due to its high penetration into both the hair shaft and skin. The slick, silky texture allows it to work its way down the entire hair shaft, and its emollient properties offer beautiful hydration to dry hair and skin.

Ungurahui oil is often used in fine skin care products, especially for aging skin, because of its antioxidant, antibacterial, and microcirculatory properties. It is a very nourishing and protective oil, high in fatty acids and Vitamin E. It vanishes quickly into skin, leaving no greasy film behind.
