.: Brief Description :.

Originally from tropical South America, in particular Guiana (whence its Latin name, Carapa guianensis), the andiroba is a member of the same
family (Meliaceae) as the neem or chinaberry tree, and the two are giants over twenty meters tall in both their home and adopted countries. This
AMAZONIAN GIANT is remarkable for its fruits in the shape of large capsules, similar to chestnuts. Very rich in oleic and linoleic acid, they have
MOISTURIZING and RESTRUCTURING properties for both skin and hair. Andiroba oil is characterized by the presence of limonoids, in particular andirobin.
