PRACAXI OIL (Pracachy)

Description

Pracaxi Oil (Pentaclethra macroloba, Leguminosae- Mimosoideae): This carrier lipid see oil is also known as the Oil Bean Tree and Amazon’s Miracle Oil.  It contains its only restorative properties and can be used by itself or added to essential oils (see our NEW BLEND – SKIN BALM OIL).  Pracaxi’s properties make it useful for anti-aging, anti-cellulite, hyper-pigmentation, skin firming, stretch mark prevention (used in our Mama’s Baby Bump Oil & Salve), reducing scars and various skin conditions including diaper rash.

Traditional and Scientific Uses:  Includes Cosmetic and Therapeutic Medicinal Treatments for hyper-pigmentation, scars, stretch marks, and acts as an inhibitor of melanin biosynthesis for melasma, sun and age spots.  Used to treat erysipelas skin infection caused by bacteria.  In the Amazon Forest, it’s used to treat snake and scorpion bites and as a mosquito repellant.

Pracaxi is known for its treatment for hair, making it brighter, easier to comb and help avoid hair loss.

Shelf Life:  18+ years (extend and best to keep refrigerated).  Pracaxi oil is very hardy oil with a typical shelf life as long as 18 months. However, this is NOT an expiration date. Even after 18 months, your Pracaxi oil may retain most, if not all, of its beneficial properties, particularly if you are careful about storing it.  Store with lid tightly on and in a cool dark place or refrigerate.  If you refrigerate, it will solidify a bit; all you have to do is shake the bottle after letting it acclimate to room temperature.

NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION aka INTERNAL USE. Avoid contact with eyes, do NOT ingest.  In case of eye contact, flush thoroughly with water as this is a lipid oil.  DO NOT flush out eyes with water when using essential oils as water and essential oils do NOT MIX; rather, flush out with a carrier oil such as olive or coconut oil or a milk/nut fat.
