Açaí Oil
Açaí oil is a lightweight, nutrient-rich oil extracted from the berries of the açaí palm. Popular in clean beauty, it is prized for its high antioxidant content and excellent moisturising properties. It is commonly found in facial oils, serums, hair treatments and body butters.
How it works in skincare
In skincare and haircare formulations, açaí oil functions as an emollient and antioxidant ingredient. It helps to soften and smooth the skin while forming a light protective barrier that reduces moisture loss. Its natural fatty acids and polyphenols work to condition hair, improve manageability and add shine without weighing it down.
