Let your skin really breathe

Tropical attunement together with an infusion of bioactive substances. These are exactly the attributes of the oil from the seeds of the guava fruit, which resembles a pear in appearance. This delicious fruit was first seen in Mexico, but its cultivation has spread to other countries boasting blue skies without a single cloud.

A remarkable amount of antioxidants make the oil an excellent free radical scavenger.[1][2] It is also filled with minerals such as selenium, zinc, copper and is also rich in fatty linolenic acid.[3][4] At the same time, it's a capable energizer for your skin and quenches even the thirstiest skin. It will help maintain skin elasticity and prevent the signs of premature aging and wrinkles.

The acne fighter and your hair carer

The silky texture of the oil caresses with its lightness and absorbs quickly into the skin. In addition, it is astringent (astringent effects) and non-comedogenic (does not clog pores) – properties that go hand in hand in the fight against unsightly pores and acne. Guava oil also has excellent results in hair care, where it tends to be an ingredient in commercial shampoos designed to restore vitality and shine to stressed hair.

Benefits of guava oil for your skin and body

• The oil moisturises and adds elasticity to the skin
• Astringent and non-comedogenic, therefore suitable for acne-prone skin
• Protects against free radicals and thus acts as a preventive against skin ageing (anti-age effect)
• Quickly absorbed and leaves the skin unified
• Gives strength to hair and nails
• It is suitable for all skin types, especially inflammatory, aging and dehydrated skin.
• Used as a carrier oil for BEWIT essential oils – mixing extends the time of gradual absorption of the essential oil
• Combined with BEWIT essential waters provides deep hydration and balance to the skin

History

Guava's obscure origins only lend credence to the guesses

Guava (Psidium guajava) is a relatively common fruit in tropical regions. The origin of this very popular fruit is not very clear. However, it is estimated to have originated in Mexico, where it gradually spread through humans and birds to other areas of the subtropical belt, such as South America, China and India. The latter is also currently its largest producer. Europeans first came into contact with Guava in what is now Haiti.

Origin: India

The guava looks like a pear and tastes like a fig. It contains many times more vitamin C than citrus fruits. It is grown in subtropical climates all over the world, up to 1500 metres above sea level.
