What is this
Brazil Nut Oil
Brazil nut oil is a golden oil pressed from the seeds of Bertholletia excelsa, a towering tree of the Amazon rainforest. Rich in skin-friendly lipids, selenium and vitamin E, it helps replenish the skin barrier, supporting softer, more supple, more resilient-looking skin.
Where is it found
Amazon Rainforest, Brazil
In The Nine Aurora's Amazon rainforest zone, the Brazil nut tree sets the pace. Bertholletia excelsa fruits only in intact forest, its heavy pods falling when they are ready — never before. Local gatherers collect them from the forest floor by hand, a harvest impossible to rush and inseparable from keeping the rainforest standing.

Questions about brazil nut oil
What is Brazil nut oil?
Brazil nut oil is pressed from the seeds of Bertholletia excelsa, one of the tallest trees of the Amazon rainforest. The wedge-shaped seeds grow packed inside a hard, round woody pod, and their oil is naturally rich in oleic and linoleic fatty acids, selenium and vitamin E.
Is Brazil nut oil good for skin?
Yes — its lipid profile is close to skin's own, which is why it absorbs comfortably and helps strengthen the look and feel of the skin barrier. Skin feels nourished and supple, appears smoother, and becomes visibly less prone to the roughness of dehydration.
Does Brazil nut oil help with the look of aging?
It contributes in a supportive way: vitamin E and selenium are antioxidant nutrients that help defend skin from environmental stressors, while its emollient richness softens the look of dryness lines — so skin appears smoother, more rested and quietly radiant.
Is Brazil nut oil sustainable?
Remarkably so. Brazil nut trees fruit properly only in living rainforest, so the harvest depends on standing forest and the local communities who gather the fallen pods by hand. Responsibly sourced oil — ours comes from upcycled, zero-waste processes — supports both.
