Description
First cold-pressed cacay oil is extracted from nuts harvested from wild cacay trees in the Colombian rainforest.
An initial analysis highlights its high vitamin E content (a mixture of tocopherols), at more than 50%, and linoleic acid content above 60%.
Other notable vitamins include vitamin A acetate (natural retinol), at three times the amount found, for example, in rosehip oil. It is an exceptional anti-ageing oil, particularly indicated for mature, sensitive or very dry skin. Moisturising, regenerating and repairing, it helps prevent wrinkles or visibly reduce them. Its fine texture is quickly absorbed without leaving skin greasy.
For better results, combine it with essential oils, for example Bourbon geranium, cistus, Seville lavender or yellow immortelle.
