Brazil nut oil

Brazil nut oil (CAS 356065-50-4), also marketed as Fats and Glyceridic oils, brazil nut, is a cold-pressed or expeller-pressed vegetable oil sourced from the seeds of Bertholletia excelsa.

It is valued across food, cosmetic, and industrial formulation for its high unsaturated fatty acid content and skin-conditioning performance. In personal care and cosmetics, it functions as an emollient.

It is used as a moisturizing base in creams, serums, hair oils, and lip care products, where it supports skin barrier conditioning without heavy residue. Food manufacturers use it as a premium edible oil.

It is found in specialty nutrition products, gourmet dressings, and functional food formulations. In coatings and sealants, its fatty acid profile supports lubrication and film-forming properties in specialty resin systems.

It also serves as a carrier or base oil in nutraceutical softgel and topical supplement formulations. Brazil nut oil is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid, available in both refined and unrefined grades.

Standard supply formats include drums and IBCs for industrial buyers, with smaller packaging available for cosmetic formulators. Food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications are the most commonly traded.

Refined grades offer improved color and odor stability for sensitive formulations. This versatile oil meets various industry requirements for purity and performance across global manufacturing sectors.
