This south pacific gem has been used for centuries however has recently made a significant come back to the western world of cosmetics & for good reason. Nuts from the Ati tree are wild harvested, then left in the sunshine to dry for 5-6 weeks then cold pressed for their oil. The oil itself is effective on the skin & hair, predominantly acting as an Antioxidant, Anti-bacterial (Lactone) & Anti-inflammatory (Calophyllolide & Coumarins) agent & carrying a wealth of Calophyllic acid. There is not really a part of the body it is not effective on. The oil carries a light pleasant, nutty aroma & is a rich, dark green oil (specifically sun-dried material). We strongly recommend applying this material directly to the skin but also applying into hair care formulations.
