Description
Infinity Ingredients is the UK distributor of Babaçu oil from Citróleo.
Babaçu oil has emulsifying properties making it ideal for the preparation of O/W type emulsions. As an active ingredient, it can be used in skin and hair products for moisturisation. In soap it can be used to replace fats of animal and vegetable origin and as a raw material to obtain surfactants.
Babaçu almond is used in baby products in the form of liquid talc. When crushed, the seed produces a powder, known as babaçu powder, which absorbs moisture and helps protect the baby's skin, especially in the region of direct contact with the nappy.
