Buriti oil is rich in nutrient-dense unsaturated fatty acids and carotenoids. It has regenerative, skin-softening, and moisturizing properties. As a natural antioxidant loaded with vitamins A and E, buriti oil is perfect for dry, sun-exposed, or eczema-prone skin.

One of the most remarkable features of buriti is its protective ability, as it is the richest natural source of beta-carotene in the world! Thanks to this, the oil protects against free radicals and helps shield the skin from environmental stressors like pollution and UV radiation.

Buriti oil is extracted from the fruits of the buriti tree, which grows in the Amazon rainforest. The buriti tree thrives near wetlands and is commonly referred to as the Tree of Life, playing a vital role in the rainforest ecosystem. The buriti fruits we use are wild-harvested by local communities in a natural and sustainable manner.

Research conducted by Brazil's Institute of Biology has highlighted not only the undeniable health benefits of buriti but also the fact that rural communities harvesting the fruit can combine income generation with the preservation of the species and the rainforest. Buriti oil is still relatively uncommon in Europe, and Usva Cosmetics is the only Finnish company using this miraculous oil as an ingredient in skincare.

Massage a few drops of facial oil onto cleansed skin as the final step of your skincare routine. Allow the oil serum to fully absorb before applying makeup or sunscreen.

The Wild Fruit Oil Serum is suitable for daily use as part of your skincare and makeup routine. You can use the oil serum to replace your regular day or night cream, or mix a couple of drops into your cream to enhance its moisturizing and nourishing effects.

About Usva Cosmetics

 

Our Story

Usva Cosmetics is a family-owned natural skincare company. We carefully select our ingredients and handcraft our products in our small workshop in Lohja, Finland.

Our production methods are very gentle, so that the nutrients and vitamins in the raw materials remain full-quality and unaltered. We make our products in small batches and send them to our customers directly from our workshop, fresh and ready to use.

At Usva, we celebrate the power and harmony of nature, its diversity and unity.

Rainforest plants, that have enjoyed plenty of sun and moisture, are rich in antioxidants and have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and soothing properties.

On the other hand, the short but intense growing season packs northern plants with essential vitamins and protective polyphenols and anthocyanidins. They are resilient and rich in omega-3, 6 and 9 fatty acids in a balanced proportion.

At Usva, we combine the best qualities of these plants from completely different environments to create effective natural skincare products that support the skin's natural function.

• Our products are 100% natural and vegan. We have stricter standards than many certified natural cosmetics, which allow the use of animal-derived ingredients such as carmine and beeswax.
• We do not add any preservatives or synthetic ingredients to our products. We design our products to work and last without any additives.
• For us, responsibility and sustainability are not just buzzwords and slogans; we carefully examine the social and environmental impact of our raw materials and packaging throughout their life cycle.
• We do not use any raw materials whose extraction is harmful or irreversibly damaging to the environment. For example, the production of sandalwood essential oil requires the cutting down of an endangered sandalwood tree as its heartwood is used to extract the oil. At Usva, we use only ethically produced and renewable raw materials.

Do you sometimes find it difficult to find the right skincare products? Naturalness, sustainability, practicality and the fact that the product works for your skin, after all, - all these qualities don't always come together easily, but we took up the challenge.

At Usva, we evolve and move forward at the pace of the world, listening to the nature voice. We open the door to new knowledge and challenge old habits. We favour wild-grown plants and organic ingredients. We study the impact of vegetable oil production and other ingredient manufacturing processes on the environment and local people.

We are on this path to developing effective and increasingly sustainable skincare products. We want you to get your hands on truly nourishing natural cosmetics that will make you and your skin glow.
