Question 1

What makes your Aguaje Oil different from other facial oils?

Accepted Answer

Our Aguaje is the world’s richest natural source of Beta-Carotene (Pro-Vitamin A). Unlike mass-produced oils, ours is sourced directly from the Amazon and remains undiluted. It offers a unique combination of deep lipid nourishment and antioxidant protection that most standard carrier oils lack.

Question 2

Is this oil diluted with water or other carrier oils?

Accepted Answer

No. This is a single-ingredient oil. If water or other substances are added, they must legally appear on the ingredient list. Our INCI panel lists one ingredient only: Mauritia flexuosa oil.

Transparency matters.

Question 3

Is Aguaje Oil suitable for mature skin?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Aguaje (Buriti) oil is highly celebrated for its ability to rejuvenate the appearance of mature skin. Its high concentration of Vitamin E and Oleic acid helps improve the look of skin elasticity and smooths the appearance of fine lines by deeply hydrating the moisture barrier.

Question 4

Can I use this if I have sensitive skin?

Accepted Answer

Aguaje is a single-ingredient, botanical oil with no synthetic fragrances, making it generally very gentle. However, because it is so potent in Vitamin A, we always recommend a patch test on the inner arm for 24 hours if you have highly reactive skin.

Question 5

Can I use this as a carrier oil?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Aguaje Oil functions beautifully as a premium carrier oil. Its emollient texture allows it to blend well with other botanical actives while contributing its own conditioning and glow-enhancing properties.

Question 6

How do I use Aguaje Oil in my routine?

Accepted Answer

Morning: Press 1–2 drops into damp skin before SPF.

Evening: Apply before moisturizer or blend with other botanical serums.

Lips: Tap lightly before bed.

Body: Blend into lotion or apply directly to dry areas.

Question 7

What gives Aguaje Oil its vibrant golden color?

Accepted Answer

The deep orange-gold hue is entirely natural! It comes from the incredibly high concentration of carotenoids (the same nutrients found in carrots). It creates an immediate "sun-kissed" glow upon application.

Question 8

How is your Aguaje sourced?

Accepted Answer

We take pride in our ethical harvest. Our oil is gathered by indigenous communities in the Amazon who climb the Moriche palms to harvest the fruit without harming the trees. It is then meticulously sorted and processed by local women, ensuring a fair-trade, small-batch product. There is a short window for harvesting the fruit, and we ensure it is truly sustainable.

Question 9

Will the oil stain my skin?

Accepted Answer

When 1–2 drops are massaged into damp skin, it absorbs beautifully, leaving a radiant finish. Because it is highly pigmented, we recommend letting it absorb for a few minutes before contact with light-colored linens or silk.

Question 10

Why does purity matter?

Accepted Answer

Purity ensures you are receiving the full botanical profile without dilution. Ingredient transparency allows you to make informed decisions about what you apply to your skin.
