Organic Brazil Nut Oil is harvested by hand from a tree native to South America and cold-pressed extracted, yielding a clear, viscous liquid with a pale yellow to light brown appearance. It carries a bland yet characteristic nutty aroma and is naturally rich in oleic and linoleic fatty acid content along with vitamin E and selenium. Organic brazil nut oil is most utilized in the cosmetic and personal-care industry for its natural moisturizing properties, found in a wide-range of topical serums, lotions, and ointments. Brazil nut oil is a common cooking oil as well, used in a range of dishes or added to salad dressings and marinades.
