WAAM Cold-Pressed Touloucouna Vegetable Oil, also known as carapa oil, is a wild-harvested plant oil from Senegal known above all for its soothing, nourishing action. It is especially suited to sensitive and dry skin, and is traditionally used as a relaxing massage oil for the body. On the hair, it nourishes, strengthens and brings shine to the lengths, while its soothing properties suit an uncomfortable scalp.

Key Benefits

  • Soothing: comforts sensitive, dry skin.
  • Nourishing: softens dry areas of the face and body.
  • Relaxing massage: a traditional body massage oil.
  • Comfortable scalp: soothes a sensitive, uncomfortable scalp.
  • Shiny lengths: nourishes, strengthens and protects dry hair.

Key Ingredients

Touloucouna seed oil, obtained by first cold pressing of the kernels of the carapa tree, is rich in omega 6 and essential fatty acids with antioxidant properties. Yellow to amber, it can turn into a semi-solid paste below about 77°F, which is perfectly natural. The oil is 100% of natural origin, in a recycled plastic bottle with an aluminum twist cap.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is WAAM Cold-Pressed Touloucouna Vegetable Oil?

It is a pure carapa seed oil from Senegal, from wild-grown trees, obtained by first cold pressing of the kernels. WAAM presents it as a soothing, nourishing oil for the skin and hair, also used traditionally as a massage oil.

Why does WAAM Cold-Pressed Touloucouna Vegetable Oil turn thick?

Its texture changes with temperature: it can turn from a liquid into a semi-solid paste below about 77°F. This is natural and does not change the oil. Warm the bottle in your hands or in warm water to make it liquid again.

Can I use WAAM Cold-Pressed Touloucouna Vegetable Oil on my scalp?

Yes. Its soothing properties suit an uncomfortable scalp. Apply the oil to all of your hair and to the scalp, working from the roots to the ends, then rinse and shampoo. On the lengths, it nourishes, strengthens and adds shine.

Is WAAM Cold-Pressed Touloucouna Vegetable Oil compatible with every WAAM product?

WAAM notes that touloucouna oil is not compatible with its gentle washing gel base. For skin care, apply a few drops directly to dry areas and massage until absorbed. Keep the bottle away from light and heat.
