Acai Oil - Virgin Organic

Organic Acai Oil is extracted and filtered from the pulp of the fruit from the Acai Palm plant having the botanical name Euterpe oleracea. This natural oil is virgin, otherwise referred to as unrefined, and exhibits its characteristic aroma and appearance. The Acai drupe contains high levels of polyphenols, specifically anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins, which are known to carry antioxidant properties. Rich in vitamins C, B, E, and zinc, Acai oil is heavily concentrated with desired essential fatty acids such as linoleic acid (omega 6), oleic acid (omega 9), and palmitic acid. Due to its palmitic acid content which is a saturated fat, it is normal for virgin acai oil to experience fractionization and form natural liquid crystals. When this occurs, gentle warm up the material and mix to bring the virgin oil to a homogeneous solution. Bulk organic acai oil is sought-after throughout the cosmetic and personal-care realm for formulations in soap manufacturing, moisturizers, hair products, and serums. Additionally, acai oil is used in a variety of low temperature food preparations, such as in salad dressings, for its omega-3 essential fatty acids and antioxidant content.
