Buriti Oil - Benefits and Uses

Buriti Oil (Mauritia flexuosa, Arecaceae) is a redish brown, dry oil with an earthy smell.

The Buriti Oil is considered to be the richest natural source in beta-carotene, exceeding 5 times what is found in carrots (6,6 milligrams/100 g pulp).  Beta-carotene is one of the most powerful antioxidants, known for its ability to renew cells, and serves as an excellent natural skin exfoliator. Due to its ability to absorb radiation in the range of visible and ultraviolet light, Buriti oil is used by the cosmetic industry as a solar filter that reduces the dryness of the skin. In anti-aging formulas this oil increases the elasticity of the skin.
Buriti Oil possesses the remarkable ability to nourish, moisturize and repair the epidermis and improve the elasticity of maturing skin. It is highly beneficial in formulations intended to treat and heal burns and sun damaged skin. Buriti Oil has strong antioxidant properties and protects the skin from free radical damage.
