    The Plant

    The Acai Berry comes from the Acai Palm tree that is indigenous to the Amazon region, specifically the state of Para in Brazil, and found in the tropical areas of Central and South America. The berry has been cherished as a highly nutritious dietary staple of the native tribes of the region for centuries and used as folk medicine to heal a wide variety of ailments. Today it is valued as a power-packed superfood, and the demand for its powerful health benefits due to its unique presentation of phytochemicals has increased exponentially in recent years. Brazil is the largest producer of Acai, and in 2019, the country produced more than 1.2 million tons.

    Acai Oil is extracted from the berry’s seeds via cold expeller pressing. The oil is slightly viscous and deep green in color. It is made up of a complex mix of essential fatty acids, polyphenols and trace amounts of vitamins A and C, and trace minerals like zinc, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus, along with different phytosterols, which indicate the oil has many therapeutic benefits for overall health and wellbeing, especially the skin.
