Why is Açaí oil so beneficial?
Açaí oil is naturally rich in oleic (omega-9) and linoleic (omega-6) fatty acids, which help support the skin barrier and improve softness and elasticity. It also contains valuable oil-soluble compounds like phytosterols and tocopherols (vitamin E), known for their antioxidant and skin-protective properties. These components work together to help defend the skin from oxidative stress and keep it looking healthy and strong.
Its deep green color comes from natural chlorophylls present in the fruit, a sign of the oil’s purity and minimal processing.

This amazing oil can be used directly on the skin or it can be used in the formulation of facial and aging well products, massage blends, body butters, hair conditioners, and so much more.

ECOLOGY

Acai palms are found throughout the Amazon basin and are particularly abundant in the eastern region. It is one of the most common palms of the state of Pará, and dominates the landscape, sometimes in almost pure stands. Açaí prefers flooded and wetland areas and easily regenerates. Acai also needs a second canopy that provides shade, preventing people from cutting the taller trees in the region.

The local and indigenous river people in the Amazon forest have been consuming acai berries for thousands of years and it can make up to 80% of their diet. With the flourishing popularity, the commerce of the fruit has become the main source of income for many families and most of the acai that comes from Brazil is wild harvested and fair traded.

By purchasing Rainforest Chica's Acai Berry Oil, not only you are doing a favor to your skin and hair, you are also helping the Amazon forest to survive, you are helping river communities to stay in the forest and work not in it, but with it.

*The Amazonian butters and oils have been tested by generations of rainforest's indigenous and ribeirinho people. They are used for cooking, baking, healing, moisturizing and protecting against the elements.

When we consume Amazonia's sustainable, non-timber-products, we give the local people an alternative to logging and farming which are the two largest responsible factors of the deforestation of such an important ecosystem.

Rainforest Chica's products are wild harvested or ethically farmed. With constant focus on sustainability and fair treatment of harvester, farmers, transporters and producers.
