Açaí oil is obtained from the fruit of [Euterpe oleracea](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%C3%A7a%C3%ADPalm) ([açaí palm](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%C3%A7a%C3%ADpalm)), which grows in the Amazon rainforest. The oil is rich in phenolic compounds similar in profile to the pulp itself, such as vanillic acidsyringic acidp-hydroxybenzoic acidprotocatechuic acid and ferulic acid as well as (+)-catechin and numerous procyanidin oligomers.


The popular name for this palm tree is “acaizerio” (Euterpe oleracea). It is a tropical palm tree cultivated in serval areas in Brazil. Brazil is the largest producer, consumer and exporter of this fruit.


Properties: This acai oil is high in lipid content containing monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. In addition, it is rich in proteins, fibres, vitamin E, minerals and anthocyanin (anthocyanin is a blue, violet or red flavonoid pigment found in plants).

Uses & Applications: It can be used as an anti-oxidant and anti-ageing component in cosmetic formulations. Due to the high levels of anthocyanins, it works well in treatments and preventions of skin disorders (related to free radicals and oxidative processes). Conventionally, it can be used in shampoos, conditioners, masks, moisturizers for hair and body, exfoliating, nail polish and lipstick.


Quality Differential – Product 100% Natural: This product is not submitted to the refining stage during the obtaining process. It would be at this stage that they would be exposed to high temperatures to be neutralized, clarified and deodorized. However, this type of technique degrades several biomolecules of high nutritional value that are naturally present in oils and butter. These include vitamins, responsible for benefits like antioxidant power, and thermosensitive carotenoids, which maintain the health of the skin. The fruits are selected at the natural maturation time preserving their compounds and do not undergo thermal stress refining, guaranteeing their properties.


 – Product 100% Pure: Citróleo, our trusted supplier of this product, does not perform any kind of blend or alteration of the oils and butter it produces. Thus, the plant products are offered to maintain their natural aspects, like characteristics, colour and odour.


 – Dosage / Usual Concentration:



  • Liquid and bar soap: 0.1 to 5%

  • Creams and lotions: 0.5 to 10%
