Born from the seeds of Ximenia americana, Ximenia oil is a rare botanical treasure, rich in bioactive and very long-chain fatty acids that naturally mirror the architecture of the skin barrier. Each drop expresses nature’s intelligence, offering molecular affinity with both skin and scalp.

Our process preserves the integrity of these delicate lipids, ensuring pure, functional, and high-performance oils. Ximenynic acid, a rare acetylenic fatty acid, combines with C24–C30 very long-chain lipids to reinforce the barrier, maintain hydration, and support overall comfort. This unique composition makes Ximenia oil ideal for premium skincare, scalp treatments, and luxury dermo-cosmetic formulations.

More than an oil, it is a biomimetic platform ingredient, at the intersection of nature, science, and structural lipid intelligence. Lightweight, protective, and fully compatible with clean beauty standards, Ximenia oil allows formulators to create innovative, high-performance products while respecting the wisdom of the plant.

Biomimetic by Nature. Intelligent by Design.

Vitamin C, a gift from the seed,
Fatty acids nourish, a powerful deed.
Inflammation soothed, elasticity grows,
Ximenia’s touch, beauty that flows.
