Andiroba Oil-Small Batch

Andiroba Oil

Andiroba Oil is a rich, nourishing botanical oil cold-pressed from the seeds of the Andiroba tree, native to the Amazon rainforest. Prized for generations throughout South America, this golden to amber oil is valued in skin, hair, and body care formulations for its exceptional emollient properties and naturally occurring limonoids. Andiroba Oil absorbs more readily than many heavy oils, helping to soften and condition the skin while leaving a smooth, supple feel.

A favorite in body butters, massage oils, scalp treatments, and restorative skin care products, Andiroba Oil delivers deep moisture without an overly greasy finish. Its distinctive earthy aroma reflects its minimally processed, natural origin.

Packaging Notice: Our carrier oils and infused oils are packaged in premium amber glass bottles to help protect these light-sensitive botanical oils from UV exposure and maintain their freshness, quality, and shelf life. Product images may occasionally show the oil in decorative glassware or serving vessels for display purposes only. Your order will always arrive in our protective amber glass packaging unless otherwise noted.

For Cosmetic Use Only
Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Always perform stability and compatibility testing when formulating.

One thing to note: Andiroba can become cloudy or develop some sediment when temperatures drop, but this is normal and doesn’t mean the oil has gone bad. A warm water bath will return it to a clear liquid.
