For anyone that is a religious OCM'er, forget everything you currently know about your oils being to "oily" or greasy. Babassu oil comes from the kernel of the Babassu palm in Brazil and it is GLORIOUS. It's more of a dry oil if that makes sense? But it gives all the same cleansing and moisturizing benefits without the heavy oily feeling. No breakouts either, which is great because extra virgin coconut oil made my skin freakout. Now it is not as readily available as say, EVOO or Jojoba but EBAY has plenty of auctions for this stuff at reasonable prices. I love, love, love it. Here's a better description "Babassu oil or cusi oil is a clear light yellow vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the babassu palm (Attalea speciosa), which grows in the Amazon region of South America. It is a non-drying oil used in food, cleaners and skin products. This oil has properties similar to coconut " There is plenty of info on the internet about this wonderful oil.
