Our TUCUMA OIL is extracted from the external pulp of the Tucuma fruits and comes from the brazilan amazonian forest, where it is wild harvested. Our sustainable harvesting model, using the seeds, allows local people to get income from the trees instead of cutting them to sell the wood. No preservatives, additives or other chemicals are added. It is grown naturally in the Amazon without any pesticides or fertilizers. The pulp is removed from the kernel, dried at temperatures not exceeding 50 ºC, cold-pressed, mechanically filtered and packed immediately protecting the oil from light.
The TUCUMA OIL oil is tradditionnally used for its nutritius properties and in massage oils.
It contains over 70% of unsaturated fatty acids represented by palmitic, stearic, oleic and linoleic, and a high ammount in tocopherocols and sterols, which makes it very interesting for skin care.
