Afia Carapa Oil

Carapa oil, also known as Andiroba oil, is derived from the seeds of the Carapa guianensis tree, native to the Amazon rainforest and other parts of South America. It is a rich, golden-colored oil with a nutty aroma.

Carapa oil is renowned for its various skincare benefits. It contains fatty acids, such as oleic acid, linoleic acid, and palmitic acid, which contribute to its moisturizing and emollient properties. Additionally, it is rich in compounds like limonoids and terpenes, which possess anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.

In traditional medicine, Carapa oil has been used topically to soothe skin irritations, treat wounds, and alleviate muscle and joint pain. It is also valued for its ability to nourish and condition the hair and scalp.
