O endereço abaixo não existe na globo.com from which everything is used – from the leaf to the oil – buriti has achieved such prestige that it is treated as a “tree of life” A doctoral research by the Institute of Biology (IB) on this plant showed that it is possible for rural communities that extract its fruit to combine income generation and at the same time conservation of the species forestry engineer Maurício Bonesso Sampaio showed that there is a smaller impact from this type of extractivism than from other activities that harm the environment in his investigation carried out at Unicamp (he completed his undergraduate and master's degrees at the University of Brasília – UnB) even though up to 70% of the fruits were removed from these populations the impact still would not have been too much “The extractivist does not harm the seed because if they are returned to the swamp by extractivists the buriti populations will follow their normal course” is a more sustainable economic alternative than other forms of land use and despite not having data on how much buriti moves in terms of figures in the regions where it occurs Maurício heard reports that many families are able to obtain a monthly income of up to ten thousand reais solely by selling their products remembering that the harvest lasts for a period of three or four months companies are currently the ones that buy the most buriti products being produced and sold in Brazil by the extractivists themselves other industries are also interested in its oil that could put the development of the buriti's life cycle at risk Maurício's study – guided by IB professor Flávio Antonio Maës dos Santos – even suggested that a setback such as fire is capable of causing major impacts on fruit production and the maintenance of populations The fire that ends up affecting multiple areas if it burns in the same place once every ten years will inevitably end up being harmful to buriti populations When evaluating the effects of commercial fruit extraction on natural buriti populations Maurício also found that “one of the problems that persists is intense harvesting reducing the chances of seedlings being born that will regenerate buriti populations “There is no commercial planting of buriti in the country.” an increasingly smaller production of fruits can be expected as many people depend on this extractivism the Pantanal and a small area of the caatinga in South American countries such as Colombia where it exists in a smaller proportion in a small strip of the north of the State it is classified as “Endangered” (EN) on the official list of flora species in the State of São Paulo threatened with extinction (Resolution SMA 48 of 2004) The plant is a palm tree from the Arecaceae family according to professor Flávio Antonio Maës dos Santos almost linear populations can be seen following water courses The first alludes to ontogeny: how changes occur in the morphological characteristics of individuals throughout the life cycle how the plant grows and at what size it produces fruits Maurício revealed that fruit production can begin when the plant reaches approximately eight meters in height (a palm tree can reach 30 meters) Another thing: it lives hundreds of years and is native to Trinidad and Tobago and South America he tested the effects of fruit extraction and fires (quite frequent in the Cerrado) on the ecology of buriti populations he evaluated the social factors that influence fruit extraction and other uses in the swamps But it was during fieldwork that Maurício really understood the dynamics of buriti he visited three regions – two in the State of Tocantins (Jalapão to the east of the State and the northeast close to Itacajá and Santa Maria do Tocantins) and one to the south of the State of Piauí where small industries producing sweets are concentrated the doctoral student spent four months prospecting the areas where he would work and collecting data for the third chapter of the thesis his work became annual in the areas studied finding fertile ground for his investigations he stayed there for a month.His biggest difficulty was identifying populations of buriti that had little anthropogenic impact (caused by man in the environment in which they live) One of the requirements for this study was to have pristine areas (as preserved as possible) the forestry engineer requested support from the NGOs Pequi (Research and Conservation of the Cerrado) and ISPN (Society he had collaborations with the extractivists themselves – especially a technician from Emater in the south of Piauí – and the Tocantins Nature Institute (Naturatins) he received help from researchers Tamara Ticktin who studies the effects of extractivism of non-timber forest products from the Center for Environmental Studies and Research (Nepam ) Maurício's thesis converges with a series of works in the Plant Population Ecology research line at IB developed over two decades ago in the Department of Plant Biology studies on the effects of exploitation on plant populations began thanks to a demand from postgraduate students from 1995 onwards related to the impact of logging on tree species in the Amazon It then began to include the exploration of non-timber forest products such as the research by Maurício and another doctoral student who expanded the initiative by studying janaguba a tree species found in the Cerrado. “Maurício’s work aims to combine many variables and analyze a social component linked to this exploitation he tried to marry this with the assessment of dynamics models: how populations are reacting to this exploitation It is extremely difficult to find research in the literature bringing these approaches together around a common point” The experience gained in the field of work guided Maurício to design two booklets for rural populations who live close to swamp areas and who practice buriti extraction The booklets are Good Management Practices for Sustainable Extractivism in Buriti Population and Nature Institute (ISPN); and Good Management Practices for the Sustainable Extractivism of Capim Dourado and Buriti produced in partnership with researchers Isabel Schmidt One booklet covers the fruit and the other the buriti leaves which provide a fiber widely used in golden grass crafts Maurício even evaluated the impact of extracting these leaves Around a thousand copies were distributed by ISPN to agroextractivists in the Cerrado The expectation is that the results will contribute to these communities continuing to practice extractivism generating income and improving its distribution and people's access to the local economy. one of the points to be highlighted is that extraction is family-based but there is a lack of support and training for these people “If we entertain the idea that it is possible to create a more vigorous economy in these regions the buritis and extractive populations could suffer a lot as a result.” management and conservation of buriti (Mauritia flexuosa; Arecaceae) in the swamps of Central Brazil”Author Maurício Bonesso SampaioAdvisor: Flávio Antonio Maës dos

like Dr Flávio developing work that is so relevant to the preservation of buriti A plant that brings hope to distant communities in our Brazil I'm from Barra-Ba and a neighbor of Buritirama The place is a true oasis in the heart of the caatinga The city received this generous name because it is surrounded by this noble palm tree "buriti" It is a region of swamps and the communities benefit from the benefits of this plant which is also a symbol of resistance to the actions of the climate and man Sustainably sourced buriti oil from the Brazilian biomes. Buriti tree is known as the symbol of water It is present in different Brazilian biomes especially in the Cerrado (Brazilian savanna)and wet tropical forests of the Amazon Buriti’s fruit has a hard bark that acts as natural protection and its orange pulp is very tasty being used by the local population to produce sweets The oil is extracted by hand by local communities grouped in a cooperative, managed mainly by women who hold leadership positions Clariant and Beraca work closely with these communities and ensured them a sale guarantee The Beraca Buriti Oil is rich in antioxidant It has film-forming properties that allows skin to retain moisture Beraca Buriti Oil increased hydration level by 570% and decreased TEWL by 683% even 8 hours after application Food Research InternationalCitation Excerpt :However present in samples with pulp and fermented by BB-12 which are compounds that may have protective properties due to their chemical structure that can interact with biological surfaces as observed in studies with microorganisms (Pontes et al. further studies are necessary to confirm any protective properties these compounds may have for microorganisms during their passage through the gastrointestinal tract Conservation Nature and Culture International (NCI) engages indigenous communities with locally led efforts to sustain ways of life using super fruits as a powerful tool for conservation A conservation group helped bring an Amazonian super fruit to market with sustainable practices—and it started with a map The buriti, known for its high concentration of nutrients, and its rich moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties, grows atop 130-foot buriti palm (aka moriche palm) trees in the wetter regions of Brazil and Peru. Before Nature and Culture International (NCI) helped establish a formal and sustainable market for buriti people would often cut down the palms to harvest the fruit While this was apparently easier than climbing the practice wasn’t sustainable because regrowth takes roughly 25 years “We started this path of advocacy against practices that generate deforestation,” said Ricardo Rivera, NCI coordinator in Loreto, the region with the most buriti palm trees in Peru. The teams at NCI mapped 7.5 million acres of the Peruvian land near the Amazon, using a geographic information system (GIS) to specify the location and quantity of buriti palms and determine harvesting plans “We map the palm trees using satellite imagery and georeferencing,” Rivera said “Then we transfer the information to many other stakeholders that we collaborate with.” NCI established a supply chain among local harvesters and distributors to get the fruit sold in stores and sent to global markets The GIS maps also guide strategies to preserve the native forests By combining income-generating plans with conservation efforts NCI aims to set aside more acres of the Amazon forest for sustainable practices local communities use climbing harnesses that they’ve modified for the purpose and for comfort who works in the Loreto region of Peru where he is from has a deep respect for the communities along the Amazon known as the capital of the Peruvian area of the Amazon “is the largest city in the world that doesn’t have a physical road connection people and goods travel by rivers and planes.” with an estimated 95 percent of the region’s ecosystems intact But it poses challenges to establishing a market for the super fruit and other sustainably harvested products from the forest “The communities around the forest are the owners of the forest It’s very important to have them in this chain of value,” he said and they are also improving their livelihoods.” Due to the super fruit’s nutritional benefits and increasing availability demand for products such as buriti oil has been growing That exposure can create larger economic impact leading to a perpetual cycle of what is known as productive conservation because we were not used to climbing the trees,” said Robert Rasma Marin president of the Maquizapa Association from the community of San Antonio “Instead of stumps where trees were once felled 20 years ago the moriche palm trees have begun to repopulate the area again and we’re managing our buriti better.” Protecting the livelihoods of those who know the forest well is not only a fundamental imperative but also essential to harvesting buriti fruit because of the labor force it takes to manage and understand the lifecycles of the tree and the ecosystems where they grow using them to see the distribution of fruit and track where they have harvested They also consult the maps when making decisions about where and how to collect and process the fruit at the point of peak ripeness Local communities also rely on their knowledge of lunar phases and the life-cycle of the fruit They are mindful of factors such as weather shifts and market momentum which necessitate stockpiling during times of abundance “The native people tell us that climate change and cold spells are a risk that we must notice,” Rivera said “It’s very possible that this year the trees won’t produce the same amount of fruit as in other years.” Companies benefit from NCI’s experience in sustainable harvesting with communities which is central to the conservation-oriented nonprofit’s mission one of NCI’s partners works with communities to transform the pulp of the fruit through freeze-drying which makes it easy to store and transport without losing its nutritive value This process reduces transportation costs and emissions adding to the sustainability of the forest and the buriti fruit market “Our organization name is Nature and Culture,” Rivera said “The culture relates to the community’s vision for the communities’ forest.” Learn more about community-led conservation in a new book from Esri Press that highlights Jane Goodall’s work to empower local communities.

Like açaí, it’s relatively more known outside of Brazil when compared to the other fruits. In fact, it has been subject to commercialization in the ingredient space before “Camu-camu is considered a fruit with high nutritional value due to its elevated levels of vitamin C and also by the presence of others bioactive compounds such as anthocyanins (cyanidin 3-glucoside proanthocyanidins and carotenoids,” the researchers wrote “The beneficial health effects of camu-camu are associated

glow of Jalapão’s native golden grass but also its natural water resources which attract tourists from all over Brazil The region is home to the broadest mosaic of conservation areas in the Cerrado the savanna biome that covers a fifth of Brazil’s land mass That means much of the native vegetation is still largely preserved illegal land use and climate change are taking their toll which make life easier for both the local communities and the tourism industry have left the land here scarred by asphalt and exploited by real estate speculators Laurina Ribeiro Matos was already familiar with the practice of braiding the Jalapão region’s famous “golden grass,” Syngonanthus nitens She got the idea to take it a step further This was how this newcomer to Jalapão region Little did Matos know that the hat she crafted would give birth to an activity that would provide economic security for the region’s women over many generations who made the golden grass well-known by the 1990s “I learned [the craft] from my mama when I was 12 years old That was the best day of my life,” says Noeme Ribeiro da Silva She’s the daughter of Miúda and granddaughter of Laurina Ribeiro Matos it’s important throughout our entire lives Golden grass is what makes all these things possible.” da Silva’s house has a sign out front: The Doctor’s House She was given the nickname at the age of 9 when she cured an inflammation in her father’s eye with alfavaca tea (Ocimum gratissimum or African basil) that she picked in her backyard “God honors those who share goodness,” she says Seated in a wooden chair surrounded by smoke from her woodstove Dotora weaves an object from golden grass alongside her sister “My home shines like gold when the grass brings us together here to talk,” she says The Mumbuca Village Craftspeople and Extractivists’ Association has 147 members 100 are women who make a living mostly from golden grass “We have our little shop and I sell my things there Ninety percent of the money that comes in goes to the women who make the pieces 5% goes to the salesperson and 5% goes to pay costs of the association,” says Silvanete Tavares da Silva the association president and a craftswoman since the age of 9 That first hat made more than 180 years ago by Laurina Ribeiro Matos has led to job security and income for the women of Quilombo Mumbuca today director of the Mateiros Craftspeople and Small Farmers’ Community Association (ACAPPM) was just a little girl when she started learning how to weave from Tonha and Dona Miúda the most exciting event of the year was going to traditional cultural festivals in neighboring communities ‘I’m not taking to you other people’s houses so you can sleep on the floor.’” Monteiro decided she would earn her own money so that she could buy a hammock She wove a few items with the grass — small baskets jewelry boxes — and made a deal with her father that They also agreed that if there was any money left over he would buy a needle — something that was hard to come by in the region and caused her to break down crying when it broke “When he came home with that hammock and needle A new pickup truck wouldn’t have been any more exciting for me,” Monteiro says she proudly wears jewelry made from golden grass and says “I was able to imagine my freedom — it felt like anything was possible.” There’s another association of golden grass craftspeople in Quilombo do Prata regulating the harvest and management of these resources The honeybees in Quilombo Mumbuca get stirred up during the golden grass harvest watching a swarm of bees at the top of the murici trees (Byrsonima crassifolia) whom everyone here calls Mumbuca de Paizinho is walking around the truck organizing things and loading up the grass Golden grass harvest begins at the end of September and lasts until November in Jalapão’s veredas Whole families work together to collect the golden stalks which will be braided together with buriti palm fiber to make hats families must register with the Tocantins Nature Institute (NATURATINS) which regulates sustainable harvest so the species will be preserved Harvesting is only allowed during this period when the grass is mature Harvesters promise to leave the flowers in the veredas so the seeds can germinate and sustain the species “It’s the way we can give back to nature and that nature can keep developing for us,” says Taiane Ribeiro Tavares Laurina Ribeiro Matos’s great-great-great granddaughter and a craftswoman herself The afternoon sun shines on the truck as it rolls over the winding path toward the vereda but the driver remembers the way from walking this way for years before the family got the truck The harvest will begin the next morning after a night of camping out under the full moon walking across the humid meadow hunting out the sparse stalks “People are pulling up the grass without leaving the heads [of flowers].” the morning sun gets more intense and there’s still a long way to walk — so much so that Paizinho I want to drink some cold water,” grumbles Tonha’s granddaughter “Soon we’ll be gone and her generation will keep learning about the swamps and also learning how valuable the grass is.” Aside from the need for sustainable management, those who earn their living by creating items from golden grass have other concerns: grass that’s picked before the official harvest season begins and deforestation for cattle pasture and soybean farming throughout Jalapão “Jalapão is important to the northern Cerrado It’s still largely protected because of all the conservation units together with other types of protected areas like the quilombola territories,” says Kolbe Soares “Many of the quilombola territories lie within conservation units maintain harmonious relationships with the land and help to protect the Cerrado Like the women who maintain sustainable practices while collecting golden grass.” The Jalapão Mosaic is a patchwork of nine conservation areas that straddle the states of Tocantins and Bahia covering nearly 3 million hectares (7.4 million acres) or an area the size of Belgium — the broadest expanse of protected area in the Cerrado these conservation areas and the traditional communities living here play important roles in standing up to the pressure being placed on them mostly by the spread of pastureland and soybean monoculture “The spread of agribusiness is a huge threat coming from western Bahia broad swaths of land have already been deforested they have deforested land inside the quilombo territory as well,” Soares says The most recent data from Brazil’s space agency showed a 25.7% drop in Cerrado deforestation in 2023 But most of the destruction was focused in the Matopiba region the agricultural heartland that sprawls across the border region of Maranhão Tocantins was the Cerrado state with the second-largest area of lost vegetation amounting to 201,900 hectares (about 500,000 acres) while Maranhão ranked first with 248,700 hectares (615,000 acres) of deforestation leaving it vulnerable to future destruction Nearly all of Tocantins lies within the Matopiba region. The municipality of Mateiros, inside Jalapão, shares a border with western Bahia and is dealing with problems due to soybean monoculture and both the heavy machinery and pesticide use that come with it Aerial spraying of pesticides is contaminating the soil and water and also poisoning the people who live there Most of the 70,000-hectare (173,000-acre) Galhão River Basin lies in Mateiros the Mateiros Craftspeople and Small Farmers’ Community Association and important tourist attractions like the famous fervedouro springs They would spray the poison over there and the pests would come to our gardens,” says Jardilene Alves Batista who lives in the village of Galhão and ran unsuccessfully for the Mateiros municipal council in the recent elections Some people’s whole bodies broke out in blisters As long as we didn’t bathe with water from the river Most of the 105 families living in Galhão drink water from the river But after the trees were cut and the banks started washing away it’s silty and the river’s water level dropped,” says firefighter and local resident Adao Batista Souza “They cut the trees down really close to the river and there are many artesian springs at the headwaters and along the banks They are also using water from the river for crops and cattle farming “It makes you sick and you just get sicker There’s a newly deforested area really close to us now.” She says she’s been finding dead birds in the region “A day will come when we will give up our lives “The Galhão River is directly impacted by all the agricultural activity near its source,” says Bruno Machado Carneiro a professor at the Tocantins Institute of Science “The communities located in the middle of the river basin are subject to all the sediment washed down by the rains So pesticides will be used on a large scale and will most likely impact the quality of the water in the basin.” Carneiro says the general lack of environmental licensing makes the region vulnerable “Licensing exists so the environmental impacts of agricultural activities can be minimized This includes the creation of topographic contours and terracing to control the erosion process that washes sediments into the riverbed.” Other concerns are that landowners are unilaterally altering their properties’ registries in the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR) — a self-declared land register — and a recurrence of land ownership conflicts in the region “We have seen that the changes people make to their CAR registries are mostly attempts to align the properties’ status with environmental policy and eliminate any existing environmental infractions from the past,” Carneiro says According to COEQTO, the Tocantins State Coordination of Quilombola Communities some 50 of these communities in the state have been certified by the Palmares Cultural Foundation Brazil’s highest coordinating body for promotion of Afro-Brazilian culture But not a single quilombola territory has been granted title to its land Land ownership irregularities run deep into the region’s history involving conflicts with farm owners — whose land was never properly expropriated or compensated for by INCRA the land reform agency — and traditional communities who see soybean monoculture spreading illegally across the water sources in their untitled territories In addition to watching the drought spread the people living here have also seen how the few head of cattle that they own grow sick widely used in the region to prepare the soil for soybean cultivation “Things have changed much over the last 10 years,” says Carneiro “We never used to see these enormous machines driving on the roads [toward Quilombo do Prata] Today it’s normal to pass six or seven of them carrying loads of limestone.” the community started fighting back after trees were cut down along the border of Parnaíba River Headwaters National Park a conservation area that’s part of the Jalapão Mosaic Given their two-year struggle to fight the advancing destruction which resulted in the removal of the farm equipment quilombo member Luzia Passos Ribeiro laments that Jalapão’s currently protected areas won’t be enough right?” she says of the mosaic’s nearly 730,000 hectares (1.8 million acres) because if it had stretched farther toward Bahia instead According to data from the mapping initiative MapBiomas 97% more land was burned in the Cerrado between January and October 2024 than during the same period in 2023 Of the 9.4 million hectares (23.2 million acres) burned 2.7 million hectares (6.7 million acres) of land burned in the state of Tocantins last year “My concern is that the flow of trucks bringing in material for agribusiness will increase along with the flow of tourists,” says Tocantins Federal University professor Lúcio Adorno who has been working on environmental conservation projects in Jalapão since 1994 these roadway improvements aren’t just for the local communities They are also intended to create a corridor for exports to Bahia,” he adds noting how close they are to the North-South Railway stretching from Maranhão to São Paulo which is used to transport mining ore and agribusiness commodities Adorno says he doesn’t believe the monoculture projects underway in the region are compatible with the characteristics of the local soil “What we expect is that their farming won’t be successful because of the region’s extremely sandy soil and the increasingly hot climate This means that these projects will only serve to further degrade Jalapão.” Also the owner of Jalapão Cathedral Private Natural Heritage Reserve (RPPN) one of the most scenic attractions in the municipality of São Félix do Tocantins Adorno says he’s seen “nights lit up by fire” on the highway connecting the state capital Palmas to Jalapão and adds that people here are “making a living farming livestock in the ashes.” Jalapão Cathedral Private Natural Heritage Reserve neighbors a broad swath of recently burned land sporting a sign that reads “Saint Expedito Farm,” named after the patron saint of urgent causes But if fires need to be halted during the dry season, they’re also recognized as a useful tool in the Cerrado when managed properly. In use here since 2014, the practice of integrated fire management (IFM) was officially adopted in Brazil in 2024 under a federal law that defines management as part of the fire prevention process through the understanding of nature’s processes to use fire very responsibly while being extremely conscious of wind direction humidity and timing,” says Cassiana Moreira a specialist at the Central Cerrado Cooperative “It’s very important that we differentiate things The communities here traditionally use fire management in the humid fields every two years. “The same fire used to make native pasture grow is also used to manage golden grass,” says Rejane Nunes, supervisor of the Jalapão Environmental Protection Area (EPA) Nunes says fire is traditionally used by Jalapão’s communities to manage their land and has now been adopted as a means of management inside the conservation areas “Planned fires used together with other prevention tools like firebreaks, monitoring, planning meetings and fire brigade training as part of integrated fire management resulted in a significant reduction — up to 36% — of wildfires at the end of the dry season in Jalapão,” says Lívia Moura, a specialist in IFM at ISPN, the Social, Population and Nature Institute “We not only saw improvements in the dialogue between different sectors but we also saw new agreements and commitments being made that improved the quality of life for the traditional and local communities in the region.” This story was first published here in Portuguese on Jan The “fortress conservation” model is under pressure in East Africa as protected areas become battlegrounds over history and global efforts to halt biodiversity loss Mongabay’s Special Issue goes beyond the region’s world-renowned safaris to examine how rural communities and governments are reckoning with conservation’s colonial origins and trying to forge a path forward […] “The Dance of the Strings” is the program to be presented by Duo Buriti on Sunday in the Garden Duo Buriti is made up of two of Brazil's leading current concert artists Nicolas de Souza Barros (7- and 8-string guitars) and Marco Lima (6- and 7-string guitars) The duo seeks to find new paths in the multiple repertoires that can be presented by the guitar duo formation it focused on works by the great composer Edino Krieger as well as Spanish and Baroque repertoires covering pieces from the Renaissance to the 20th century starting with dances from the “Terpsichore” compendium The Afro-Brazilian influence appears in “Dança brasileira” The repertoire also includes works by Piazzolla a Latin American suite with “Valse 3” by Venezuelan Antônio Lauro “Choro manhoso” by Edino Krieger and “Dança paraguaia nº 1” by Paraguayan Agustín Barrios Marco Lima has performed in several countries and important Brazilian venues He currently plays in a duo with soprano Doriana Mendes and participates in the Camerata de Violões He is a member of the Karlsruhe Guitar Quartet the Quinteto Violão Real and the Quarteto Carioca de Violões He recorded the CD Danças Brasileiras (Quarteto Carioca de Violões -

International sales are handled by Films Boutique.

SPLURGE section You all know that I’ve colored and chemically processed my hair and have been heat styling since middle school When I come across a product that claims it can repair all of that… well Cue the Buriti Nut Intensive Repair Collection from Taya Beauty raw and natural ingredients from the rain forest All of their products are free of sulfates I had never heard of the buriti nut before being introduced to this hair care line but found a little information on its oil from the Taya website: The plant’s yellow-reddish oil is extracted from the plant’s pulp and is highly effective in the regeneration and repair of the hair shaft and the improvement of its tensile strength Brazil Nut Oil improves the elasticity of the hair shaft I’ve tried almost the entire collection and like some products over others Let’s take a deeper look into each product Buriti Nut Intensive Repair Shampoo ($20) & Conditioner ($22): These both come in bottles containing 10 fl oz but still offers a little bit of lather which makes it easier to cover your entire scalp The conditioner has a medium creamy consistency I probably finished the whole bottle in about 6 washes I didn’t see much difference in the look or feel of my hair Buriti Nut Intensive Repair Leave-In Mist ($22): I used this in place of my normal leave-in conditioner and it did a good job at keeping my hair hydrated The bottle is pretty large in circumference so using the spray nozzle can sometimes seem awkward This left my hair feeling very soft and helped define my curl after brushing out my wet hair Buriti Nut Intensive Repair Dry Oil Treatment Spray ($32): This is one of my favorite products from the line— an extremely lightweight spray that is perfect for using before blowdrying for heat protection as well as getting a smooth and shiny finish was rehydrating my second or third day hair without adding weight to it It’s so easy to spray in and doesn’t leave any type of residue Buriti Nut Intensive Repair Oil ($32): This bottle comes with a squeeze nozzle as well as a dropper and contains 2 fl oz of buriti nut oil and I used it mostly before/after straightening my hair I didn’t find much of a difference between the finish of this product and my Suave Moroccan Argan Oil Buriti Nut Intensive Repair Mask ($32): Another winner from this line The main reason being: you don’t need to shampoo your hair before use Sometimes I need a mid-week refresher but don’t want to shampoo since I have a sensitive scalp This helped add intense moisture to my locks without it feeling muddy due to the lack of pre-cleansing You can even use this as an overnight hair mask for extra healing Although I enjoyed using all of the products from this line for the “full effect” I don’t think you really need every single one of them The products that really made a difference in my hair routine were the Dry Oil Treatment Spray and the Mask— and mostly for convenience purposes It’s long been revealed that you can’t truly mend split ends the right products can improve the look of your frayed ends until your next shampoo along with preventing them from getting worse This collection made my hair feel really silky and soft only a haircut was able to fix my damaged ‘do the Buriti Nut Intensive Repair Collection from Taya Beauty is a good line for hydrating your hair without weighing it down especially for those who are on the look out for cruelty free and natural products I would only consider purchasing a couple items from the line I’ve been more impressed with cheaper products and the results from this collection didn’t quite WOW me You can browse this collection and others from Taya Beauty on their website These products were received from PR for editorial consideration I am with you the Buriti nut dry oil is awesome goes on light and even It is a little expensive but you don’t need much to get the job done I have mid back length thick bleach blonde hair and this has enough conditioning for me the rest of the time I am a Wen girl and use Six/Thirteen as my main shampoo and conditioner I don’t have any split ends I have to get a trim every six to eight weeks or my hair gets to long just until a few years ago when I started using Wen I’ve seen so many reviews on them that I can’t wait to try them out My favorite from the line is their Intensive Repair Oil treatment and dry oil spray The shampoo and conditioner were just ok for me You used up that bottle of conditioner quick I don’t think I have ever even finished a bottle of conditioner I end up throwing it out when I finsih the matching shampoo That’s why the value wasn’t really great for me– there wasn’t enough product for my thick locks I’d be shocked to use up a bottle of conditioner in that short a time Mine usually last 3 months or more but I don’t have your gorgeous lush hair I have to use a LOT of conditioner because my hair is so thick (and dry) Even when I go to the salon they have to charge me double because I use up so much of their supplies 🙁 I’ve tried Taya but it’s from another line (hair thickening white clay) I have a few items from that line but am afraid to try them since I’ve already got hella thick hair for the price I don’t think these are OUTSTANDING but I’ve been WOWed by much cheaper products The intensive repair and dry oil look great A friend of mine just told me about this line – before then I had not heard of it I always change up a few things about my hair care routine now and then to keep my curls quenched Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1"

Confession: I'm a total sucker for any product line a celeb has had a hand in making. New to the growing celebrity beauty game comes actress Salma Hayek's Nuance collection which offers makeup and skincare items at your local CVS Offering a plethora of products with reasonable price points I was eager to see if it could hold up against my Sephora favorites Inspired by her surely-beautiful grandmother Hayek promises to keep it real with affordable beauty products that do their jobs effectively And by carefully selecting natural and botanical ingredients this line isn't your usual marketing gimmick with just pretty packaging It’s true my celebrity beauty infatuation goes way back but today’s celebrity beauty lines and collaborations have only improved big time Remember when Katy Perry and OPI teamed up back in 2010 the babysitting money I saved just to get my paws on that luxury fragrance Bottom line is this: If it’s celebrity branded lipstick I still vividly remember snatching Paris Hilton’s line of headband extensions when they first came out I love my Japanese sheet masks just as much the next girl but there is something about celebrity collaborations that I still can't get enough of I decided to review every single product available so far in the Nuance line — and was quite pleased with them all Here’s the breakdown of all the reasons why I fell harder than a schoolgirl for these new products It took me a few tries (and several Google searches) to pronounce Buriti oil properly but it didn’t take my parched strands long to love this super hydrating duo Smelling like a fresh spring garden of my dreams, I thought these products were really great, because they gave my lifeless strands that Victoria’s Secret volume I crave (with the help of a blow dryer Sheer Liquid Veil SPF 50, $10, Nuance There is nothing I loathe more than sticky sunscreen which just sit on your face and invite breakouts to party I had fears that this cream would be one of those products straight out of my nightmares it looks (and smells) exactly like the sunscreens that have given me week long pimples and blackheads in the past However, my anxieties were squashed once I blended this bad boy onto my skin. Unlike the greasy creams and lotions of my past, this seemingly scary cream phased to a lightweight coating, that didn't leave my pores gasping for air. It's nice to know that I can easily add some drops of this product to my everyday foundation, without having to splurge on that expensive BB cream I've been eyeing.
