PEQUI OIL SHINE RESTORATION CONDITIONER
Pequi oil is extracted from the seeds of the Caryocar brasiliense, a plant native to Brazil. Pequi oil is pale yellow with a viscous consistency and fruity/nutty aroma. In Brazil, pequi fruits are eaten raw or included in cooking with rice. It is also processed liqueur and juice. Pequi oil is composed primarily of palmitic acid and oleic acid, with minor amounts of linolenic acid and stearic acid.
The oil comes from the Brazilian Pequi tree fruit (Caryocar brasiliense), and it is extracted by boiling the peeled fruit and stirring the concoction until the precious oil rises to the top. The unrefined pequi oil is then skimmed off with a large spoon to be heated and filtered for cold-pressing.
