The cacay tree is native to parts of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, and a few patches of the Brazilian Amazon. Over the past few years, Cacay Oil's popularity has increased by leaps and bounds, primarily for its anti-aging properties
The recent popularity of Cacay Oil is also helping many families who previously relied solely on basic farming, such as the growing and selling of food crops and livestock, to earn a meager living. Now these Amazonian-based families are gathering Cacay nuts, which have fallen from trees in the wild, or are even cultivating new Cacay trees to harvest and sell the nuts for needed extra income. This bonus to local Cacay farmers will only increase as newly founded Cacay plantations find maturity as the popularity of the oil increases globally.
Compared to other oils, Cacay Oil contains a high level of naturally occurring Retinol, a component that helps reduce wrinkles, boost collagen production, and regenerate the skin. Cacay Oil has three times more Retinol than Rosehip Oil, but in a more stable and non-irritating form. Retinol (Vitamin A) is a well-known antioxidant that activates the skin's natural renewal process and rebuilds or replenishes skin tissue, visibly reducing the appearance of wrinkles while keeping the skin smooth.
Additionally, it contains plenty of the antioxidant Vitamin E, which helps to naturally repair, protect, and restore moisture levels in the skin. This new oil also has an abundance of Linoleic Acid (69.01%), nearly double the amount found in other popular oils.
Linoleic Acid is a polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid and a key essential component of the protective outer membrane of healthy skin cells. It is an essential fatty acid that the body cannot produce on its own, so it must be obtained through absorption via the skin or dietary sources. Cacay Oil is loaded with Linoleic Acid.
Since Cacay Oil is rich in skin-nourishing vitamins and essential fatty acids, it’s no surprise that it is now regarded as a top natural, organic, anti-aging skincare product. Our Cacay Oil is highly concentrated, so just a drop or two massaged into wrinkles and fine lines around the cheeks, eyes, and other trouble spots can often show noticeable improvement within 2-3 weeks.
Cacay Oil is also effective in helping fade scars and stretch marks due to its remarkable skin regeneration properties. Simply apply a drop or two to the affected area, massage it in thoroughly as part of your daily routine. While scars and blemishes may not disappear completely, they should fade enough to become mostly unnoticeable over time.
Even if blemishes and scars aren’t an issue for you, Cacay Oil can still enhance your daily skincare routine. Just mix a drop or two with your daily tablespoon of other oils or face cream to give your skin an extra boost of vitamins and essential fatty acids. You can also mix a few drops into your natural shampoo or conditioner to nourish your scalp and add more body to your hair, resulting in naturally healthy, shiny hair.
Perhaps the unique benefits of Cacay Oil for your beauty and health are enough to convince you to try it, but there are also several other good reasons why that might be a wise choice.
A great thing about Cacay Oil (similar to coconut) is that nothing harvested goes to waste. After the oil is extracted through cold-pressing, the nutrient-rich meat of the dried nut can be ground into flour for cooking or as a food supplement. It can also be used to make Cacay milk. The inner peel of the nuts can serve as animal feed or be used as nutrient-rich compost or fertilizer for other crops. Even the hard outer shell is useful, as it is combustible and burns very hot, making it excellent fuel for heating or cooking.
Currently, most Cacay Oil is harvested from wild-growing trees in the western Amazon region of Brazil. However, due to the increasing popularity of this amazing oil and the economic potential it presents, more farmers are establishing their own Cacay tree plantations. The Cacay tree grows relatively quickly, so the ratio of farmed to wild Cacay will inevitably increase rapidly each year. The trees replenish nutrients in the soil when cultivated and also provide much-needed shade for other important crops, like Coffea Arabica (coffee). Since nothing from this marvelous nut goes to waste (as previously mentioned), Cacay oil production promotes sustainable farming.
It is well known worldwide that the rapid and destructive deforestation of the Amazon rainforest is a catastrophic disaster, with over 200,000 hectares of pristine rainforest being destroyed each day. These forests harbor some of the most mysterious and majestic plant and tree species on Earth. Their wanton destruction deprives us of potential medical breakthroughs and health benefits contained within the tropical plants that are continuously being destroyed at an alarming rate—and may never be discovered again.
The growth of the Cacay Oil industry can help keep the soil fertile and productive in the Amazon, adding vital oxygen to the atmosphere and helping to combat global warming. Overall, increased Cacay farming benefits the planet’s ecology, the people cultivating it, and the health and beauty of those who use the final product: Cacay Oil.
