Description

Licuri oil, the light, silicone like touch from the Brazilian Caatinga

Licuri oil is cold pressed from the seeds of Syagrus coronata, a native palm of the Caatinga, grown in Brazil. 100% pure and unrefined, it is a light oil rich in lauric acid, with an immediate sensory profile close to cyclopentasiloxane: fast absorption, high spreadability and slip, and a dry, velvety after feel with no greasiness. Primegreen supplies licuri oil to formulators looking for a natural alternative to silicones in hair and skin care.

Award winning at Cosmetic 360

Licuri oil won the Prix Coup de cœur du jury in the Regeneration category at Cosmetic 360 in Paris in October 2026.

A supply chain that protects the Lear's macaw

Our licuri comes from Bahia, where 767 families, under female leadership, harvest the ripe fruit of wild licuri palms across 12,000 hectares of Caatinga. The licuri palm is the main food source of the endangered Lear's macaw (Anodorhynchus leari), so responsible harvesting of ripe fruit only, replanting of licuri palms and the care of healthy trees are built into the program: the community's collection area, if conserved, can feed the current macaw population for around 30 years.

What sets Primegreen's Licuri Oil apart

- Direct supply chain: We source licuri oil directly from the collector communities of Monte Santo, Bahia, where 767 families, mostly led by women, harvest licuri nuts across 12,000 hectares of Caatinga.

- Protecting the Lear's macaw: licuri nuts are the main food of the endangered Lear's macaw. The communities replant licuri palms and keep the native forest standing, so every lot supports the birds as well as the families.

- Full traceability: each lot comes with its documentation (TDS, CoA, SDS) and can be traced back to the collection area.

- A natural alternative to silicones: the sensory profile is close to cyclopentasiloxane, light, dry and velvety, which makes it a rare natural option for silicone free hair and skin formulas.

- Award winning: Prix Coup de cœur du jury in the Regeneration category at Cosmetic 360, Paris, October 2026.

FAQS about Licuri Oil

Benefits & Applications

What are the key skin benefits of Licuri Oil?

Licuri oil is a fast absorbing, non greasy emollient. It moisturizes and softens the skin while leaving a dry, velvety, powder like after feel, which makes it ideal for light lotions, body oils and sun care where a heavy or oily finish is not wanted.

What are the key hair benefits of Licuri Oil?

Its lauric rich profile gives it a strong affinity for the hair fiber. It forms a light film that smooths the cuticle, controls frizz and adds shine and softness without weighing hair down, which is why formulators use it to replace cyclopentasiloxane and other silicones in conditioners, masks and leave ins.

What cosmetic applications is Licuri Oil best suited for?

Silicone free hair care first: conditioners, masks, leave in creams, hair oils and serums. On skin it suits dry body oils, light lotions and face creams, natural deodorants, cleansing balms, sun care and after sun, hand, lip and baby care. It can be used pure or at 1 to 100% in the oil phase.

Formulation & Technical Specs

What is the recommended usage rate of Licuri Oil in cosmetic formulations?

From 1% to 100% depending on the format. Typical levels are 2 to 10% in emulsions and conditioners, 5 to 30% in leave ins and hair serums, and up to 100% in pure oils and dry body oils. Add it to the oil phase; it tolerates the usual process temperatures.

Does Licuri Oil require specific emulsifiers or solubilizers?

No special emulsifier is needed. Licuri oil has a required HLB of about 7 and medium polarity, so it emulsifies easily with standard O/W and W/O systems. It is insoluble in water; for clear aqueous products use a solubilizer or keep it in the oil phase.

What ingredients is Licuri Oil compatible with?

Compatible with most plant oils, esters, butters, waxes, cationic conditioning agents and the usual emulsifiers. Its medium polarity makes it a good bridge between very light esters and richer oils such as babassu, murumuru or cupuaçu butter.

Can Licuri Oil be mixed with other skincare and hair care actives?

Yes. It pairs well with oil soluble actives such as vitamin E, bisabolol, ceramides and plant extracts, and it is a good carrier for fragrances and essential oils thanks to its light touch and mild odor. The oil solidifies below 20 °C and returns to liquid when gently warmed, without any loss of quality.
