Our babassu oil is produced using a sustainable and traceable supply chain:
- Sustainable Harvesting: Nuts are manually collected from wild or cultivated babassu palms in Brazil, supporting local communities.
- Drying & Cracking: Nuts are sun-dried and mechanically cracked to extract the kernels.
- Cold Pressing (Preferred): Kernels are pressed at low temperatures (<50°C) to preserve the oil's natural nutrients, color, and odor.
- Refining (Optional): For odorless/colorless applications, the oil can be gently refined, bleached, and deodorized (RBD) while maintaining key properties.
- Filtration & Quality Control: Oil undergoes rigorous filtration and multiple QC checks against our specifications.
- Packaging: Packed in clean, airtight containers (drums, totes, or bulk) to ensure freshness.
- Purity & Quality Guarantee: Every batch is GC-tested for fatty acid profile, purity, and safety (heavy metals, pesticides).
- Sustainable & Ethical Sourcing: We partner with cooperatives that practice fair trade and sustainable wild harvesting.
- Technical Expertise: Our team provides full technical support for formulation and application.
- Flexible Supply: Available in various grades (Cold-Pressed, RBD) and quantities from samples to bulk tankers.
