Information
Caryodendron Orinocense, commonly known as Kahai or Cacay seed oil, is a nutrient-rich plant oil extracted from the seeds of the Kahai tree. This luxurious oil is celebrated for its high content of essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants, making it a powerful ingredient in skincare products aimed at nourishing and revitalizing the skin.
Where does it come from?
Kahai seed oil is derived from the Kahai tree, which is native to the tropical rainforests of South America, particularly in Colombia and Venezuela. The seeds are harvested from the tree’s nuts, and the oil is extracted through a cold-pressing process, which preserves its potent nutrients and beneficial properties.
Rich in Retinol: Contains natural retinol (Vitamin A), which helps to promote cell turnover, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Deeply Moisturizing: High in essential fatty acids like linoleic acid, Kahai seed oil provides intense hydration, helping to restore and maintain the skin’s natural moisture barrier.
Antioxidant Protection: Packed with Vitamin E and F, it protects the skin from free radicals and environmental damage, promoting a youthful complexion.
Soothes and Heals: Its anti-inflammatory properties make it ideal for calming irritated or sensitive skin, while also aiding in the healing of minor skin issues.
Non-Greasy: Despite its richness, Kahai seed oil absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue, making it suitable for all skin types, including oily skin.
How is it used in our products?
Kahai seed oil is used, for example, in F65 Corrective Midnight Elixir and F74 Regeneration Intense Face Cream from OLIVEDA. Included for its high concentration of active ingredients for mature or dry skin, it helps to reduce the visible signs of aging and enhance skin elasticity. In nighttime formulations, its natural retinol content works effectively to renew and rejuvenate the skin while you sleep.
