Babassu Oil

Description

Harness the light, melting power of Babassu Oil, pressed from the kernels of the Brazilian babassu palm and harvested by the traditional “quebradeiras de coco” women of Maranhão, for your Build-Your-Own ORY^® skincare, haircare, handmade soap, and cosmetics. Chemically it is coconut oil’s lighter cousin — rich in lauric and myristic acids — but it melts at skin temperature into a faster-absorbing, less greasy oil that many find gentler than coconut, with laboratory-documented soothing activity. In your custom body butter, balm, lip care, cleansing balm, or cream, it melts on contact to soften and protect dry and sensitive skin. In your pre-shampoo treatment, hair mask, conditioner bar, or sealing balm, it conditions hair with a lighter feel than coconut. In your handmade soap, it is ORY^®’s preferred coconut substitute, giving hard bars with big, creamy lather and gentler cleansing. In your cosmetics, it forms lip balms, cream sticks, and makeup removers. Customize your cruelty-free, community-sourced formulation for soft, protected skin and silky hair. Caution: Moderately comedogenic — prefer body, lip, and rinse-off uses for acne-prone skin. Patch test before first use.
