From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Acai oil is obtained from the fruit of 25-30 species of genus Euterpe (Açaí palm), which grows in the Amazon Rainforest. Acai oil contains flavonoids (anthocyanines) that have applications in cosmetics. A line of cosmetics launched in 2003 by the Brazilian company Beraca features this and other ingredients from rain forest plants.[1] The oil is comparable to grape seed oil.[2]
