Product review: Babassu oil

A couple of months ago, while shopping for my usual supply of carrier oils, I came across the rather exotically-name Babassu oil.
This soothing and nourishing oil is extracted from the seed of the Babassu palm which grows in the Amazon region of South America. It is often use as a substitute for Coconut Oil as it shares many of its properties.
It is a rich but non-greasy emollient which is commonly use in face care treatments and pre-shampoo conditioners.

For the last four weeks, I have been adding my latest finding to my usual Shea Butter & EVOO deep conditioner mix with a tea spoon of virgin coconut oil . The results have been more than positive. My locks have been shinier and softer.

As this carrier oil can be used as a make-up remover, I have decided to give it a go tomorrow evening on a small area of my face (probably just below my temples as my glasses' branches might help hide any irritation that may be cause by the oil).

I will keep you posted!
