Product description: 

Native to eastern base of the Andes Mountains, mainly in Venezuela, Brazil, Columbia, Peru and other countries in South America’s Amazonia, the luxurious, almost gold colored Cacay aka Kahai Oil has been one of The Amazon’s best kept beauty and skincare secrets for many years. Obtained via cold compression of the nuts of the fast growing Caryodendron orinocense tree which grows up to 30-40 meters and only thrives in the Amazon Rain forest. 

Studies in South America and Germany have proven its efficacy in combating visible signs of aging with the German firm Derma Consult’s studies showing that over 4 weeks it not only improved hydration, firmness, smoothness, and elasticity, it also reduced the appearance of wrinkles by 45%.  

It is difficult to source so supply of 100% Pure, Cacay Oil is limited and thus only available in small quantities so it is not as widely known as other more popular carrier oils e.g. Rosehip Seed, Argan, Apricot Seed etc. It is however, considered the reigning champion of natural anti-aging skincare by beauty industry insiders.

By buying Cacay oil you not only get an a amazing, easily absorbent oil with a plethora of skincare benefits which will make your skin radiant and glowing, you also directly become a part of the effort to save the Amazon Rainforest,  the most biodiverse region on earth and home to 3 million plant and animal species. Its billions of trees, help slow down climate change by absorbing tons of carbon dioxide every year and produces 20% of Earth’s oxygen hence its nickname ‘Lungs of Earth”. Sadly over 200,000 acres of the Amazon has been destroyed by deforestation in what has been referred to as an environmental catastrophe, Cacay Oils rising demand is helping reverse that as more and more people have found financial motivation to leave the rainforest alone and plant the fast-growing Cacay trees instead, thereby aiding afforestation efforts to aid the rain forest.

As if these skincare and earth aiding benefits were not enough, Cacay Oil also has an immense financial  impact on the indigenous people of these countries who usually make a very modest living growing other less valuable crops, are able to add an extra income for their family by including harvesting and gathering Cacay nuts, some even plant and grow new trees to sell the nuts which lends to sustainability.

Cacay (Kahai) Nut Oil is suitable for all skin types even hypersensitive and is recommended for aging, damaged, hyper pigmented, dehydrated, hyper sensitive skin.
