All About Cacay
An extraordinary natural ingredient with high value for the skin and multiple applications.
Some ingredients go out of style. And others transcend.
Cacay (Caryodendron Orinocense) belongs to the second category: an extraordinary tree native to Colombia, whose nut gives rise to a premium oil valued for its natural richness, its affinity with the skin, and its connection to a more conscious agroindustry.
At Arlés, we believe that understanding cacay is understanding a new way of creating value: from biodiversity, from innovation, and from respect for origin.
What is Cacay?
Cacay is much more than a tree.
It is a species of high natural value that produces a nut rich in essential oils and functional compounds that are now drawing interest in cosmetics, wellness, and agro-industrial innovation.
Its potential lies not only in what it contains, but in what it represents: an opportunity to transform biodiversity into premium ingredients with purpose. An ancient tree whose nut concentrates exceptional antioxidant and regenerative properties.
From fruit to oil: where its true value is born
From the nut of the cacay tree, a premium oil is obtained that is highly valued for its natural profile and versatility (Caryodendron Orinocense Seed Oil). It is not simply another vegetable oil: it is an active ingredient that stands out for its composition and for the way it interacts with the skin.
