The buriti palm is very widespread in Brazil, especially in the Brazilian savannah (Cerrado) and the humid tropical rainforests of the Amazon. The large, single-trunked tree reaches a height of 25-35 meters with a diameter of 30 to 60 cm and shapes the image of many regions with its hemispherical, spreading crown. Mauritia Flexuosa Fruit Oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the fruits of the Mauritia flexuosa, also known as Buriti palm. The buriti oil is rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals and is often used in natural beauty products for its moisturizing and nourishing properties. In some parts of South America, it is also used as an edible oil.<\/p>\n

The flowers are orange; the male flowers are in catkins, the female with two together. The drupes are 5 to 7 cm long, spherical to ovoid and reddish-brown. Inside in the yellow-orange flesh there is a hard stone. In a year the Buriti palm bears 400 to 500 kg of fruit. Oil is extracted from the pulp, which is also used in sweets and desserts. The fruit is eaten raw, processed into flour or fermented into alcoholic beverages. The oil pressed from the fruit is used, for example, as cooking oil.<\/p>\n
The pith of the leaf stalks is used to make mats and paper. The fibers of the young leaves are made into ropes and hammocks.<\/p>\n
Wine and sago starch are obtained from the trunk.<\/p>\n
Plantation cultivation is not necessary because the palm is very common. Wild fruits have a higher density of active ingredients anyway.<\/p>\n
In Brazil, the buriti fruit has become a superfood. Due to its\u00a0high content of <\/strong>\u03b2<\/strong>-carotene<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0vegetable fatty acids<\/strong>, Mauritia Flexuosa Fruit Oil is one of the most valuable natural oils.

In Brazil, Mauritia Flexuosa Fruit Oil is considered a\u00a0natural sunscreen.<\/strong>\u00a0It is mixed with annatto to form a paste. The Amazon Indians use the mixture after bathing, for protection from the sun and against skin aging and irritation. The high content of carotenoids gives the buriti fruit its\u00a0reddish color<\/strong>\u00a0and consequently the skin its reddish glow.<\/p>\n It is important that the fruits are collected by indigenous communities. They know the best locations for good fruit. The collection of the fruit is done in the rainy season in the immediate vicinity, otherwise the baskets would be too heavy. Outside the rainy season, harvesting is also done in more distant regions. After collecting, the fruits are washed and processed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Unfortunately, stretching with inferior oils is common. Mauritia Flexuosa Fruit Oil is often blended with coloring discount oil in Europe or\u00a0tocopherol<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is added to refined oil and offered as cold pressed. Oil stretched in this way has a lower price, lower quality, hardly any bioactive substances and is paler. The addition of tocopherol is intended to give the impression of cold-pressed Mauritia Flexuosa Fruit Oil.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n With its content of\u00a0vitamins A<\/a>\u00a0and E<\/strong>, Mauritia Flexuosa Fruit Oil provides intensive moisturizing of the skin, soothes irritations and improves skin elasticity. It is a valuable ingredient in anti-aging creams and ideal for dry and mature skin. It nourishes skin and hair, makes them supple and can be used for hot oil treatment of damaged and dry hair.<\/p>\n \u03b2<\/strong>-Carotene<\/strong>\u00a0reduces oxidation processes, regulates cell growth, increases the response of the immune system. Thanks to these properties, Mauritia Flexuosa Fruit Oil helps regenerate sun-damaged skin and is suitable for pre\/after sun care.<\/p>\n It also cares for skin suffering from\u00a0neurodermatitis or psoriasis<\/strong>. Buriti fruit oil is a neutral oil, which means that it has no comedogenic effect. Its suitability for treating skin wounds and burns deserves special mention. Pure Mauritia Flexuosa Fruit Oil can replace iodine tincture in the aftercare of wounds.<\/p>\n From historical records, it was observed in animals that on the third day after surgery, slight hyperemia was evident and crusting had begun. The control group treated with iodine solution still had redness and swelling. On the seventh day, the wound of the animals treated with Buriti was covered with a crust and showed no signs of inflammation. The wound of the control group appeared almost unchanged on the seventh day compared to the third day.<\/p>\n The manufacturer\u00a0Beraca<\/strong>, which offers high-quality components from the Brazilian rainforest for cosmetics, uses\u00a0buriti seeds as abrasive particles<\/strong>, whether in shower gels, soaps, scalp care products, facial cleansers, hand and foot care or massage products.
