Buah merah oil
Please note: While safe to use directly on skin, due to the intensity of the colour of this raw oil, it is not recommended. Unless you want to be orange!
Buah merah fruit is wild-harvested from the Pandanus conoideus plant, a fruit native to Indonesia, the oil is then extracted via cold-pressing and filtered to produce this rich, textured oil know for its deep red colour.
Buah merah fruit oil is high in oleic acid which is said to be great for dry and mature skin due to its potential ability to penetrate skin, replenish and help to lock in moisture.
It has a high concentration of alpha tocopherol, a form of vitamin E.
Buah merah fruit oil also contains a healthy content of beta-carotene, which gives it its deep red hue. Beta-carotene is often referred to as provitamin A, which can reduce early signs of fine lines and wrinkles, loss of skin elasticity and hyperpigmentation. Buah merah fruit oil is believed to be beneficial for reducing dark eye circles, improving overall skin complexion and softening and nourishing dry skin.
It's used in haircare products, to help nourish and strengthen hair as well as treat hair loss and add nutrients and moisture to the scalp.
It's important to remember that individual responses to skincare products can vary, and the use of avocado oil should be done with caution, especially if you have known allergies or skin sensitivities. For specific skin concerns or conditions, consider seeking advice from a dermatologist or skincare professional.
