Buriti, also known as Aguaje, is a palm tree native to the Amazon rainforest. Very common in the region, the buriti gives its name to a number of towns and villages in central Brazil (buritizal, Canto do buriti, buriti dos Lopes, etc.). It is a sacred tree for the local people (it is also called the 'tree of life') because of its many uses. The trunks are used as a framework for buildings, the leaves are used to make bags, baskets and hats, and the fruit is widely used in food to make compotes and even wine.
It can grow from 30 to 40 metres tall and produce up to 8 inflorescences a year, each bearing 900 fruits!
These hard-shelled fruits contain an edible orange-yellow pulp, rich in oil and traditionally used by the natives to protect themselves from the sun.
A veritable concentrate of carotenoids, buriti carrier oil is a choice ally for pre- and post-sun care, as well as for a 'healthy glow' and anti-free radical day care.
Ideal for prolonging your tan, this emollient, anti-dehydration oil can be used on both skin and hair to protect against external aggressions.
Special product
Aroma-Zone strives to offer you products of the highest possible quality, whether in terms of their composition, richness in active ingredients, scent, type of cultivation, geographical origin, method of extraction, the quality of the producer's work, and also remarkable in terms of ethics within a sustainable development approach. We seek out rare product qualities for you, and sometimes even exclusive ones, by contacting suppliers from all corners of the world and purchasing directly from producers; ensuring always that the economic conditions are favorable for our partners. To highlight some of our products of exceptional quality and share as much information as possible about these products, we have decided to create an “exceptional product” label.
The buriti carrier oil we are offering comes from Brazil, the country of origin of buriti. This oil is of very high quality, virgin, so it has a very pretty dark orange to red colour, and is very rich in active ingredients. This oil is one of our exceptional products.
A palm that adapts to its environment
buriti is a wild palm that grows naturally in Brazil. It requires a great deal of water, which is why it is found mainly on flood plains where the soil is both wet and soft.
This tree is a panacea for many animal species (mammals, birds and even fish), which feed on its fruit when it falls to the ground or into the water. Its edible and highly nutritious fruit is also part of the Amazonian diet.
Fruit production generally varies from year to year, with one year being very productive and the next less so. The fruit is generally harvested between February and May. The fruit can be processed into oil. The oil we offer is a first cold-pressed virgin oil, 100% pure and natural.
A colourful oil rich in active ingredients for a healthy glow
Thanks to its richness in carotenoids, which give it its beautiful deep orange to red colour, and its antioxidant properties, which are responsible for the skin'shealthy glow , buriti carrier oil prepares and prolongs tanning while combating damage caused by free radicals.
It is an ideal oil for promoting tanning and combating the signs of skin ageing, while protecting against skin dehydration. It is also known for restoring shine to dull, damaged hair and protecting colour-treated hair while prolonging shine.

Frequently Asked Questions
A good oil
A few drops of buriti oil in my unscented coconut oil, and voilà, a tinted sun oil that speeds up tanning.
I mix it with my hyaluronic acid cream from Aroma-Zone to give myself a slightly more tanned complexion, and it's great.
Very, very orange, I didn't expect the oil to be tinted. Use a small amount in a cream.
Good quality at a reasonable price.
