For chemical data and fatty acid composition refer to pictures.
Oleic and linoleic acids make up the largest share of soursop oil’s fatty acid profile. Linoleic acid is a building block of the ceramides that help the skin’s barrier retain moisture, making its omega 6 content of particular interest for dry-skin formulations. The oil also naturally contains tocopherols, members of the vitamin E family, alongside palmitic and stearic acids and a smaller proportion of alpha-linolenic acid (omega 3).
Its light feel makes it an option for facial and body oil blends when you want a substantial proportion of omega 6 without a heavy texture. It can also be incorporated into creams, conditioners, hair masks and soaps. Its pronounced fruity scent and natural color bring their own character to a blend and should be considered when developing pale or fragrance-free products.
*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.
