What Is Orbignya Oleifera Seed Oil?
Orbignya Oleifera Seed Oil, known as Babassu Oil, comes from the babassu palm native to Brazil. This light, quickly-absorbing oil provides excellent moisture without leaving a greasy residue.
Similar in composition to coconut oil but lighter in texture, babassu oil is suitable for all skin types including oily skin that benefits from hydration without heaviness.
