Looking like a magnificent dragon’s egg, Buriti produces an oil highly concentrated in oleic acid – omega 9. This fatty acid promotes hydration, healing, and helps restore or maintain the suppleness of the skin. Carotenoids – or provitamin A – limit the devastating effects of exposure to the sun’s rays and soothe irritated skin. Vitamin E protects cells from oxidation. Traditionally, the Indians of the Amazon rainforest apply this oil to the skin to soothe burns.
