Organic Brazil Nut Virgin Oil is sustainably harvested by hand from the nuts of a tree native to South America and extracted through a cold-pressing process. This yields a clear, oil with a pale yellow to light brown color and a mild, characteristic nutty aroma. Naturally rich in oleic and linoleic fatty acids, as well as vitamin E and selenium, Brazil Nut Oil is highly valued for its nourishing and moisturizing properties.
