Andiroba Oil 25 ml

What makes andiroba oil valuable for hair care and natural insect protection

Andiroba oil is pressed from the seeds of Carapa guianensis, a tree native to the Amazon basin, including Brazil, Peru and Guyana. This oil belongs to the category of Liquid Basic Oils and has long been used by indigenous communities for scalp care, joint massage and as a natural insect deterrent. Today it is widely used in professional haircare manufacturing, household chemistry for insect repellent products, and in spa massage formulations.

The primary application of andiroba oil is scalp and hair care. It penetrates the hair shaft, helps address dryness of the scalp, and is commonly added to strengthening masks and conditioning balms. Combined with Avocado Oil, andiroba boosts the nourishing effect of hair masks, while blending it with Shea butter liquid creates a solid base for intensive balms designed for very dry scalp conditions.

The second major field of use is the production of insect repellent formulas, where andiroba is valued for its characteristic bitter aroma that naturally deters mosquitoes and other insects. Such formulations are in demand in tropical regions and in outdoor and travel cosmetic lines. For industrial-scale recipes, the oil is often diluted with lighter, more economical carrier oils such as Rapeseed Oil, which reduces the final cost without compromising performance.

In formulations, andiroba oil is typically used at concentrations between 5 and 20 percent depending on the intended product - higher dosages for massage blends, and 5-10 percent for cosmetic emulsions and masks. The oil should be introduced at the final production stage, at temperatures not exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, to preserve its active compounds. It pairs well with citrus and coniferous essential oils, as well as with medium-density vegetable oils.

Andiroba oil should be stored in a tightly closed container, in a cool dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Under proper storage conditions the product retains its properties for 12-18 months after opening. The 25 ml packaging is convenient for home-based trial batches and testing new formulations before scaling up to larger production volumes.
