USVA Wild Fruit – Antioxidant-Rich Beauty Balm - 100% Natural Ingredients

Beauty grows wild in nature – just like it does in us, humans. Wildflowers, herbs and fruits grow in their natural habitats, where nature intended them to, completely untouched by human intervention. These plants are exposed to the same harsh conditions as our skin: strong sunlight, low humidity, temperature fluctuations and a host of other environmental stresses. Wild plants develop differently than cultivated varieties: they become more resilient and resilient, storing nutrients and antioxidants, and developing unique, healing and complex properties to adapt to their environment. Gathering wild plants is a sustainable, ethical and environmentally friendly way to source ingredients. It preserves the soil from artificial fertilizers and human intervention, while supporting local communities. These plants are not sown or treated with chemicals – they are hand-picked from their natural environment. During the collection, the plant is not damaged or dug up. When collecting fruits, nuts or mushrooms, the plant itself remains completely intact – just as a forest animal would gently nibble on it while searching for food.

Buriti oil is rich in nutrients, contains a high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids and carotenoids. It has a regenerating, softening and moisturizing effect. As a natural antioxidant, it is extremely rich in vitamins A and E, supporting dry, sun-exposed or eczema-prone skin.
One of the most remarkable properties of buriti is its outstanding protective properties – it is the richest natural source of beta-carotene in the world! Thanks to this, it effectively protects the skin against free radicals and helps protect against environmental damage, such as pollution and UV radiation.
Buriti oil is extracted from the fruit of the buriti palm tree, which grows in the Amazon rainforest. The buriti tree thrives near swampy areas and is often called the “Tree of Life” due to its important role in the rainforest ecosystem. The buriti fruit we use is wild-harvested by local communities, in a completely natural and sustainable way.
Research by the Brazilian Institute of Biology has not only proven the undeniable health benefits of buriti, but also that rural communities that collect the fruit can balance securing their livelihoods with preserving the species and the rainforest. Buriti oil is still a relatively rare ingredient in Europe, and Usva Cosmetics is the only Finnish company that uses this extraordinary oil in its skincare products.
