Florihana, Organic Brazil Nut Oil, 100ml

Our Brazil Nut Carrier Oil or Vegetable Oil (Bertholletia excelsa) is certified organic (Cosmos Organic), 100% natural and pure. This oil is unrefined and cold-pressed from the nuts. This plant is harvested in Bolivia.

Nourishing and softening.

Historically a victim of its own success due to its high nutritional value, the Brazil nut is harvested in specific areas of the tropical Amazon rainforest, and comes from the Brazil Nut tree (Bertholletia excelsa).

Rich and balanced in omegas-6 and 9, full of antioxidants such as selenium and squalene, this flagship cosmetic oil establishes itself as a must-have with moisturizing, nourishing and protective benefits. Its use will gently contribute to increase skin suppleness and elasticity. The Brazil Nut carrier oil also stands out for its dry texture and ability to penetrate the epidermis both easily and deeply. Protective and softening, it represents a privileged natural cosmetic treatment for dry to very dry, sensitive or irritated skins.

This oil is equally famous for its effects on hair by moisturizing, nourishing and protecting it without greasing it. More specifically, the Brazil Nut carrier oil ideally suits dry, dull, thin or brittle hair, which will be gently conditioned and strengthened after repeated applications.

A: It is a 100% pure, COSMOS-certified organic carrier (vegetable) oil cold-pressed from Brazil nuts (Bertholletia excelsa). A fast-absorbing, non-greasy cosmetic oil that deeply moisturises, nourishes and protects the skin, and conditions the hair. Ideal as a facial oil, body oil, massage base or hair serum.

Q2: Why is Brazil nut oil good for the skin and hair?
A: It is rich and balanced in omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids and full of antioxidants – selenium, squalene, phytosterols and vitamin E. These help moisturise, improve suppleness and elasticity, and protect against free radicals, making it especially suited to dry to very dry, sensitive or irritated skin, and to dull, fine or brittle hair.
