Babassu oil

Babassu oil (CAS 91078-92-1 ) is a pale yellow vegetable oil cold-pressed from the kernels of the Amazonian babassu palm. It functions as a skin-conditioning emollient and emulsifier across personal care, food, and industrial formulations. In cosmetics and skincare, it is used as a base oil in creams, lotions, lip balms, and hair conditioners. Its rapid skin absorption supports lightweight moisturizing without leaving a heavy residue on the skin. Food manufacturers use it as a cocoa butter substitute and cooking fat in confectionery and baked goods. This is particularly useful where a lauric-acid-rich tropical oil is required for specific textures. In soap manufacturing, this oil contributes to lather quality and bar hardness. It serves as a functional alternative to coconut oil for sensitive-skin formulations due to its gentle profile. Coatings and adhesive formulators use it as a bio-based plasticizer and carrier component in specialty resin systems. This versatility makes it a valuable raw material for sustainable industrial applications. The product is supplied as a liquid or semi-solid depending on ambient temperature, typically in drums, IBCs, and bulk tankers. Food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications are the most commercially common. Refined, bleached, and deodorized (RBD) variants are available for applications requiring neutral odor and color. Crude and virgin cold-pressed grades are also traded for natural and organic-positioned formulations. Contact us for supply of Babassu oil Request Quote
