Mamey Seed Oil, cold-pressed from the nutrient-rich seeds of the tropical Pouteria sapota fruit, is one of the most luxurious and deeply nourishing oils used in Caribbean, Central American, and Latin American beauty traditions. Long celebrated for its ability to strengthen hair, revitalize the scalp, and transform dry or damaged skin, this exotic oil is a true botanical treasure with a silky, velvety texture and a nutrient profile unlike any other natural oil.

Our 100% pure, cold-pressed, unrefined Mamey Seed Oil preserves the fruit’s exceptional fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins, and carotenoid-rich compounds. This produces an oil that is not only deeply moisturizing but also protective, restorative, and exceptionally compatible with skin and hair. Known traditionally as “aceite de sapote”, it has been used for generations to promote hair growth, soothe the scalp, and nourish the skin even under harsh tropical conditions.

Botanical and Chemical Composition
Cold-pressed Mamey Seed Oil contains an impressive range of naturally occurring nutrients, including:
  • Oleic Acid (Omega-9) – deeply moisturizing, softens dryness
  • Linoleic Acid (Omega-6) – supports barrier repair and hydration
  • Palmitic & Stearic Acids – protective and barrier-strengthening
  • Vitamin A (Carotenoids) – enhances glow and supports skin renewal
  • Vitamin E (Tocopherols) – powerful antioxidant protection
  • Squalene – boosts elasticity and smoothness
  • Phytosterols – soothe irritation and support skin repair
  • Natural proteins and amino acids – excellent for hair structure
This rare combination makes Mamey Seed Oil an extraordinary natural ingredient for modern luxury skincare and haircare.
