Cacay Beauty Oil | Restore me 30 ml

NAYA Cacay Beauty Oil is an exceptionally light facial oil made from 100% pure, cold-pressed Cacay oil. Extracted from the seeds of the Colombian Cacay tree, it provides the skin with valuable fatty acids and antioxidant plant compounds. It supports the skin barrier, maintains suppleness, and gives even tired, dry skin a well-cared-for, radiant appearance.

• Product type: pure, cold-pressed facial oil for daily care
• Skin types: suitable for all skin types, especially dry, dehydrated, mature, sensitive, and dull skin, as well as combination skin
• Benefits: nourishes with essential fatty acids, supports the skin barrier, and helps reduce moisture loss
• Appearance: smooths rough patches, improves suppleness, and gives the complexion a natural glow
• Versatility: can be used morning and evening, on its own, combined with serum or cream, or for a gentle facial massage
• Texture: light, silky, and fast-absorbing, without leaving a heavy greasy film
• Key active ingredients: Cacay oil with a high proportion of linoleic acid, as well as tocopherols (vitamin E), phytosterols, and squalene

What makes this oil so special is the combination of remarkable purity and a balanced feel on the skin. Although Cacay oil is rich in nourishing fatty acids, it feels pleasantly light and absorbs quickly. That’s why it’s suitable not only for dry and mature skin, but also for combination skin that needs extra lipid care without feeling weighed down.

Cacay Beauty Oil is also at the heart of NAYA. The founder, Sarah Zimmer, began her journey with this oil after discovering Cacay in Colombia and establishing a direct partnership with local producers. To this day, this raw ingredient represents the brand’s philosophy: high quality, careful processing, and responsible treatment of the people who produce its ingredients.

The Power of Cacay Oil

Cacay oil has a particularly interesting fatty acid profile. Its high linoleic acid content sets it apart from many richer plant oils and makes it a valuable skincare choice for skin that needs softness and a stable lipid barrier.

Key active ingredients in detail

• Linoleic acid (Omega-6): An essential fatty acid and one of the important components of our skin’s lipid environment. It supports the skin’s natural barrier, helps reduce moisture loss, and softens rough, dry skin.
• Tocopherols (vitamin E): These naturally occurring antioxidant plant compounds protect against free radicals and oxidative stress. They complement the nourishing effects of the fatty acids and support a healthy-looking complexion.
• Phytosterols: Plant-based lipid compounds that complement the oil’s skincare properties and help leave skin feeling comfortable and smooth.
• Squalene: A natural component of the unsaponifiable oil fraction. Squalene is also found in human sebum and supports the oil’s replenishing and softening properties.

The result is easy-to-use, active-rich lipid care that smooths dry patches, relieves tightness caused by dryness, and gives the skin a radiant appearance.

How to use

In the morning and/or evening, place 2–3 drops in your palms and gently smooth the oil over your face, neck, and décolleté. It feels particularly pleasant when applied to slightly damp skin.

You can use Cacay Beauty Oil on its own, apply it over a serum, or use it as the final step in your skincare routine after your face cream. You can also mix a few drops directly with your NAYA Everyday Day Cream.

Our tip: The oil is ideal for a gentle facial massage with your fingertips or a Gua Sha tool. A few drops also benefit dry cuticles and hair ends.

FAQ

Does Cacay Beauty Oil contain retinol?

Cacay oil was once often described as a plant-based retinol alternative. However, it is not a standardized retinol treatment. Its special properties are based primarily on its high linoleic acid content and natural antioxidant compounds. If you want to use retinol or retinal specifically for visible skin renewal, NAYA offers its own products with these active ingredients.

Is Cacay oil also suitable for combination skin?

Yes. Despite its nourishing properties, Cacay oil feels pleasantly light and absorbs quickly. Combination skin in particular can benefit from care rich in linoleic acid. Start with a few drops and adjust the amount to your skin’s needs.

Can I use the oil in the morning and evening?

Yes. Cacay Beauty Oil is suitable for daily use in the morning and evening. It contains no added retinol or retinal, so it does not require any special retinoid acclimation. Apply your usual sunscreen afterward in the morning.

Does the oil have a scent?

It contains no added fragrances or essential oils. As a pure, unrefined plant oil, Cacay oil may have a subtle, slightly nutty natural scent.
