All about cacay
From Nature To Your Skin
Nestled within the lush landscapes of Colombia and the Amazon, the seed of the tree Caryodendron orinocense (commonly called “cacay”) is the source of a remarkable oil that has captured the attention of skincare and haircare science alike.
Cold-pressed from its nuts, cacay oil offers a unique composition rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), linoleic acid, natural retinol-analogues and antioxidants — positioning it as one of nature’s most potent multi-purpose beauty elixirs. For example, a study found cacay oil contains around 58.3 % PUFA with a strong emphasis on linoleic acid.
Why XIRÜ’s Cacay Is Different
At XIRÜ we don’t just use cacay oil — we honour its origins, extract it through responsible sourcing, formulate it into an “OIL-IN-ONE” approach, and embed it in rituals that respect both your skin and the planet. Whether face, body or hair, cacay becomes the heart of our formula, ensuring you receive nourishment, renewal and radiance — and we support the forest that gives it life.
