Cultivation Definitions
Babassu is similar to in texture to coconut oil, but without the distinctive coconut scent. It is a nutritive and protective oil. Due to its high lauric acid content, it is valued in hair care as one of the few oils that penetrates the hair shaft. Wonderful for scalp mask too.
Babassu est similaire à l’huile de noix de coco, mais sans le parfum distinctif de la noix de coco. En raison de sa teneur élevée en acide laurique, il est apprécié dans les soins capillaires comme l’une des rares huiles qui pénètre la tige du cheveu. Merveilleux pour le masque du cuir chevelu aussi.
