Organic Babassu oil is a natural substitution to palm or coconut oil in your soap making process. If you are looking to create palm free soap, this is your oil!
Babassu oil is extracted from fallen babassu fruit. Kernels are removed and the oil is processed to create a usable oil. Brazilians use organic babassu oil in many skincare products to help heal scars due to its high level of saturated fat.
Babassu oil is naturally thicker at colder temperatures and starts getting softer at 76° F and hotter, just like coconut or palm oils. Our organic babassu oil is light cream to white in color and has almost no scent.
You can use organic babassu oil in more than soap. It is an excellent addition to skin salves and creams, body lotions, scrubs and anything where you want to have a superb level of moisturizing properties. Try blending organic babassu, organic beeswax, organic tamanu oil and organic hemp seed oil for a highly moisturizing, high level healing salve.
Organic babassu oil is up to 55% Lauric Acid, so an excellent alternative for your soap bars.
Organic Babassu Oil is sold in 16-ounce, 1- gallon, and 5-gallon sizes. Please email us directly for 5-gallon+ orders.
