DESCRIPTION

Buah Merah oil is cold-pressed extracted from the wild-harvested fruit of the Pandanus conoidus plant, a fruit native to Indonesia and believed to be one of the highest antioxidant containing fruits in the world. This red, viscous oil is filtered yet unrefined, carrying a characteristic aroma and flavor profile with potential natural variation occurring from lot to lot. Buah Merah contains a high level of alpha tocopherol content, a powerful antioxidant, along with having a healthy content of beta-Carotene. Beta-carotene is a form of Vitamin E which converts to Vitamin A otherwise known as retinol, a fat-soluble vitamin highly sought after for skin care formulations. Antioxidants in general are often used in cosmetic products intended to reduce or prevent the appearance of aging. Additionally, oils containing naturally high levels of antioxidants are popular for food and beverage manufacturing for perceived health benefits and to preserve shelf life. Virgin buah merah oil is an excellent option when searching for plant sources of the omega-9 fatty acid, Oleic acid. Fatty acids yield highly emollient properties, increasing the demand for virgin buah merah oil throughout the personal-care industry
