Andiroba is a tree from the forests of Amazonia.
In Brazil, Laboratoires Expanscience contributes to local economic development: collected from the ground on the banks of the Amazon River, Andiroba nuts are a new source of income for the population and help preserve biodiversity by avoiding deforestation.
Andiroba oil is made from the pressing of sun-dried nuts. Refined in France according to the recognized know-how of Laboratoires Expanscience, the oil obtained is decolorized and deodorized, and stable to oxidation.
Naturally rich in unsaponifiables, the oil helps strengthen the hydrolipidic film and offers repairing, soothing and anti-inflammatory properties.
Limonoids, a major originality of Andiroba oil, are described in the literature to protect the skin from insect attacks and other parasites.
These natural faculties make it a particularly recommended oil for soothing products for sensitive skin, after-sun or hair.
