Guava Oil is a lightweight, aromatic oil extracted from the seeds of ripe guava fruit (Psidium guajava). Rich in natural antioxidants and essential fatty acids, it helps enhance the texture and appearance of skin and hair. Its mild, fruity aroma adds a tropical touch to cosmetic formulations, while its smooth absorption makes it ideal for serums, face oils, and body lotions. This cosmetic-grade oil is a favorite among formulators for creating skin-nourishing blends, natural hair care treatments, and aromatic beauty products.

How It Works

• Guava Seed Oil is valued for its balanced composition of linoleic and oleic acids. These fatty acids help condition the skin and scalp, improving product spreadability and texture. The oil acts as a natural emollient, forming a soft barrier that supports moisture retention and leaves the skin feeling soft and supple. In hair care, it can help coat strands lightly, leaving them looking smooth and glossy without a greasy residue.

How to Use

• For Skincare Formulations: Add 1–5% in serums, creams, or facial oils.
• For Hair Care: Blend 2–8% in conditioners, masks, or scalp oils.
• For Body Care: Use 2–10% in body oils, lotions, or massage blends.
• DIY Use: Mix a few drops with a carrier oil such as jojoba or almond for a nourishing base.

(Always perform a patch test before topical application.)
