Babassu seed oil benefits
For decades, Babassu seed oil has been used as cooking oil by native Brazilians and cleansing agent for detergent and soaps.
It works wonders in the treatment of dryness and itchiness to the skin. The oil has also been used to treat various skin disorders and illness like eczema.
One thing that stands out about Babassu seed oil is its consistency is oily and watery. With this, it blends well with the skin that makes it a better moisturizer without a greasy after-feel as compared to coconut oil.
For hair care, Babassu seed oil is usually added to natural shampoo bars. It has many benefits including restoring hair elasticity and preventing hair dryness. It also acts as a natural pre-treatment to hair washing. If a small amount of Babassu seed oil coupled with a carrier oil is applied to the hair it can cause deep conditioning or moisturizing.
When searching for natural and pure Babassu seed oil, make sure to look for organic varieties so you can be assured it doesn’t contain unnecessary additives.
Babassu seed oil or coconut oil? That’s the big question
The two are almost similar. For those who have had a long experience with coconut oil in treating dry skin, Babassu seed oil will also work perfectly for you and am sure you will love it. Just like coconut oil, Babassu seed oil comes in a soft solid form that melts into a liquid form upon its application on the skin because of body heat. This is because it has a light consistency. For those people with sensitive skin, both coconut oil and Babassu seed oil will work perfectly for you as they boast high moisturizing effect. Although both may look similar in terms of performance, Babassu seed oil has an upper hand because it doesn’t leave a greasy after-feel, unlike coconut oil. It has a cooling effect on the skin.
In treating hair, Babassu seed oil will leave your hair relaxed and free, unlike coconut oil that may weigh down some hair types.
It is less clogging as well as compared to coconut oil. This is partly due to coconut oil being high on the comedogenic scale. Therefore, if you are prone to getting acne each time you apply coconut oil, it is because of its clogging effect and it is the high time you try Babassu seed oil.
It is also not expensive depending on where you purchase as compared to coconut oil. Babassu oil is already in many products, but, if you want to purchase it separately, it is readily available online.
