How it works:

  • Community Trade organic babassu oil moisturizes skin.

The Body Shop® difference: The moisturizing, organic babassu oil in our Brazil Nut Whip Body Lotion is sourced from our Community Trade partner, COPPALJ in Brazil. A sustainable and environmentally sound ingredient, babassu oil is extracted from the nuts of the wild-growing babassu palm tree. The women gather the nuts from the forest floor, then break open the hard outer shells under the trees using an upturned axe and a wooden club. They call themselves “babassu breakers” and consider the nuts as a “gift from God” and themselves to be the “guardians of the forest”.

Trade with Coppalj, a co-operative of small-scale producers in north eastern Brazil, has provided a dependable source of income for over a hundred producers from 12 communities in the area. Women are at the center of the babassu story. After 30 years of campaigning against large landowners, the women babassu breakers won legal rights to go onto the land and extract the babassu nuts. This enables them to earn a living while at the same time preserving the forest from being cut down for grazing cattle. The women in the communities continue to play an important part in the ongoing trade in babassu oil, which helps to improve their status and raise self-esteem.
