M. maripa edible oils are extracted from fruit, seeds, and pulp, composed of fatty
acids, phytosterols, tocotrienols, glycolipids, tocopherols, and a-carotene. These
chemical constituents exhibit antimicrobial, antioxidant, and moistening properties.

care products, smoothen scared skin, massage oil, moisturizers, rejuvenation, soaps,
shampoos, treating acne, and hair conditioners (Balslev et al. 2008; Bereau et al.
2001; Dos Santos et al. 2015a, b; Dos Santos et al. 2015a, b; Fernández et al. 2016;
Pereira et al. 2013).
