Andiroba oil

Andiroba oil (CAS 352458-32-3), derived from the seeds of Carapa guianensis, is a tropical fixed oil used as an emollient and lubricant across personal care and industrial formulations.

Known in trade as Carapa guianensis seed oil, it is valued for its skin-conditioning performance and functional lubricity in non-cosmetic applications. In personal care, it is formulated into body lotions and hair oils.

It is also used in after-sun products where deep moisturization and skin barrier support are the primary performance targets. Soap and solid bar manufacturers incorporate it as a conditioning base oil.

The oil is often blended with harder fats to achieve desired lather and skin-feel profiles. Industrial formulators use it in bio-based lubricant blends and metalworking fluids where renewable feedstock compliance is required.

Coatings and sealant applications utilize it as a plasticizing or softening component in natural resin systems. This versatile oil is supplied as a pale yellow to yellow liquid oil, typically in bulk drums.

It is available in cosmetic-grade specifications suitable for personal care manufacturing, with cold-pressed and refined variants commonly offered depending on application requirements.

Technical-grade material is available for industrial lubricant and coating end uses. The product meets rigorous industry benchmarks for purity and performance across diverse manufacturing sectors.
