Pracaxi (pra-ca-SHEE)
“Pracaxi”, the Portuguese name for the Pentaclethra macroloba tree where the oil comes from. Pracaxi has one of the highest natural concentrations of behenic acid acid, a fatty acid that creates a protective barrier against pollution and environmental hazards This superfruit powerhouse oil is perfect reviving, regenerating, and restoring mature skin with a non-oily feel.
Pracaxi has a low melting point and hardens in colder temperatures, in order to avoid that from happening, we mix it with Maracujá (mah-ra-coo-JAH) for Sensitive Skin – Also known as passion fruit, this superfruit is packed with nourishing oils (found in the seeds). Maracujá is loaded with antioxidants to soothe and heal skin, and it is high in essential fatty acids and nutrients. This makes Maracujá oil deeply moisturizing.
And Copaíba (coh-pa-EEH-ba) for Blemish-Prone Skin - Copaíba is known as one of the most anti-inflammatory substances on Earth. Distilled into a resin, the medicinal oil has powerful skin health properties. As an antiseptic, it helps sooth the muscles of the skin, and as an emollient, it works by locking moisture inside the skin.
