PEQUI OIL
Pequi Oil extracted from the fruit of Caryocar brasiliense, is derived from a well-known Amazonian fruit traditionally used in Brazil for its exceptional properties in controlling frizz. It is rich in potassium, antioxidants, essential fatty acids and vitamins. Studies have shown its high efficacy in reducing hair frizz. Pequi oil enhances curl definition, strengthens the hair, and helps to regenerate the hair fibre, leaving it soft, silky, and shiny.
TRADITIONAL USES
Pequi oil has been used since ancient times by the indigenous peoples and traditional communities of the Brazilian Cerrado. Its use was based on empirical knowledge passed down from generation to generation. In the past, it was not only an essential food source but also a key element in the medicine and culture of these communities.
