Babassu butter / oil - refined - OBW040
Babassu Oil | Softening, Natural & Versatile Vegetable Butter
Babassu oil is extracted from the hard seeds of the babassu palm (Orbignya oleifera), a palm species native to Brazil. The fruits grow in large clusters and are traditionally collected by local communities. For many communities, the babassu palm provides an important source of income. The oil is known for its light, conditioning properties and is widely used in both skin care and natural cosmetics.
Babassu oil is a solid vegetable butter at room temperature that melts at around 26 °C. Due to its high content of lauric acid and myristic acid, its composition is very similar to that of coconut oil. The oil absorbs quickly, does not feel heavy and is highly suitable for the care of dry, sensitive and easily irritated skin. Babassu oil is also a popular ingredient for making hard soaps with a rich lather.
Summer information
During warm weather, vegetable butters may become softer or completely liquid. This is a natural process and does not negatively affect the quality.
- To prevent leakage, larger sizes may be supplied in bottles or jerry cans during warm periods.
- Once cooled, the butter will naturally solidify again. Its texture may change slightly during this process.
- It can easily be melted again using a bain-marie in a water bath at approximately 40–50 °C.
- Avoid unnecessarily high temperatures and prolonged heating.
- The temperature at which a butter becomes soft or liquid varies depending on the type.
