Açaí palms thrive without heavy agricultural interventions. They do not require fertilizers or pesticides as they are grown in their natural habitat.
It grows alongside other native plants like the Buriti palm tree and banana trees for example.
Harvesting takes place by climbing to the top of the tree and handpicking the ripened berries to avoid deforestation, while preserving their cultural heritage.
Only ripe berries are collected, allowing the Açai palm tree to naturally regenerate.
Our growing partner subsidized the organic certification of more than 30 associated farmers.
The communities are empowered to produce higher quality fruits and maintain biodiversity. From which they can earn a livelihood while preserving their cultural heritage.
The Açaí tree (Euterpe oleracea) is a slender, multi-stemmed palm native to the Amazon rainforest, particularly in Brazil, Colombia, and Ecuador. It grows in floodplains and wetlands, reaching up to 25 meters tall. The tree is famous for producing açaí berries, which are rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, and nutrients.

Açai Oil FAQ: Benefits, Uses & Complete Guide
How to use Açai oil on the face?
For facial use, apply 2-3 drops of pure acai oil to clean, slightly damp skin. Gently massage the oil into your face and neck using upward circular motions. Use acai oil as the last step in your evening skincare routine, after serums but before heavier moisturizers. You can also mix a drop with your regular moisturizer for added antioxidant benefits.
How often should you use Açai oil?
For facial use, apply acai oil 3-4 times per week initially, then adjust based on your skin's response. For hair care, use acai oil as a weekly deep conditioning treatment or apply a small amount to hair ends daily for ongoing nourishment. Those with very dry skin or severely damaged hair may benefit from daily use, while oily skin types should start with 2-3 times per week.
Can Açai oil clog pores?
Acai oil has a low comedogenic rating, meaning it's unlikely to clog pores for most people. Its lightweight texture absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a greasy residue. However, if you have very oily or acne-prone skin, start with a small amount and patch test first. The oil's antibacterial properties actually help prevent breakouts rather than cause them.
Is Açai oil safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, acai oil is generally safe for sensitive skin types. Its anti-inflammatory properties actually help soothe irritation and redness. The oil is naturally gentle and well-tolerated by most skin types, including those with conditions like rosacea or dermatitis. However, always perform a patch test before first use by applying a small amount to your inner wrist and waiting 24 hours.
What is a high quality Açai oil?
Primegreen's Açai oil is of high quality as it is cold-pressed, pure (without additives), organic and wild harvested to ensure maximum nutrient retention.
In addition, as Primegreen is a UEBT member we commit to ensure that the Açai oil is sourced ethically and doesn't trigger deforestation.
How long does Açai oil last once opened?
Once opened, acai oil typically lasts 6-12 months when stored properly. The oil's high antioxidant content helps preserve its stability, but exposure to air, light, and heat can cause oxidation. Always close the bottle tightly after use and store in a cool, dark place. If the oil develops an off smell or changes in consistency, discontinue use.
Can you mix Açai oil with other skincare products
Yes, acai oil mixes well with other skincare ingredients. You can add a drop to your moisturizer, serum, or foundation for added antioxidant benefits. It pairs particularly well with vitamin C serums, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide. Avoid mixing with retinoids or strong acids without consulting a dermatologist, as this may cause irritation for some skin types.
Is Açai oil good for acne-prone skin?
Acai oil can be beneficial for acne-prone skin due to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. The oil helps reduce inflammation, control excess oil production, and prevent bacterial growth that can lead to breakouts. Its non-comedogenic nature means it won't clog pores, making it suitable for those with oily or combination skin types.
Does Açai oil help with anti-aging?
Yes, acai oil is excellent for anti-aging due to its high concentration of antioxidants, including anthocyanins and vitamin C. These compounds help protect skin from free radical damage, promote collagen production, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Regular use can improve skin elasticity, reduce dark spots, and promote a more youthful, radiant complexion.
Is Primegreen's Açai oil sustainable and ethically sourced?
Yes, Primegreen’s Açai oil is sustainably and ethically sourced directly from local producers in Latin America. As a trusted supplier of natural cosmetic ingredients, Primegreen ensures that its Açai oil is harvested through responsible, traceable supply chains that protect biodiversity and support fair partnerships with local communities. Our sourcing model aligns with UEBT standards, guaranteeing ethically sourced ingredients ideal for clean beauty and sustainable skincare formulations.
What's the difference between cold-pressed and refined Açai oil?
Cold-pressed Açai oil retains all its natural nutrients, vitamins, and beneficial compounds because it's extracted without heat or chemicals. This method preserves the oil's natural dark green color, delicious smell and maximum potency. Refined oils undergo processing that strips away many beneficial properties. Our cold-pressed method ensures you receive the highest quality, most effective Açai oil with all its natural anti-aging properties intact.
