It happens to the best of us: you forget that extra layer of sunscreen, get distracted by a good book on the beach, or think, “Oh, I can do another five minutes.” And before you know it, you’re standing in front of the mirror in the evening with skin that looks more like a lobster than a healthy summer glow. Luckily, there’s a natural solution that will give your skin the love and care it needs: krappa oil.

What is krappa oil actually?

Krappa oil, also known as andiroba oil, is a natural oil derived from the seeds of the andiroba tree. This tree grows in the rainforests of South America and is known for its unique properties. The oil is packed with nourishing fatty acids, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory substances that help to soothe and repair damaged skin. It is not a miracle cure, but a natural ally for skin that needs a little extra care. Krappa oil can be used for various skin conditions such as fungus, (burn) wounds, eczema and dandruff. In addition, the oil has an insect repellent effect thanks to its strong scent, which fades quickly. This versatility makes krappa oil a valuable addition to your daily care routine.

How does krappa oil help with sunburned skin?

Sunburned skin is actually damaged skin. The UV rays from the sun have damaged the upper layer of the skin, making your skin dry, red and sometimes even painful. Krappa oil works in several ways to alleviate this damage:

• Hydration: The oil penetrates deep into the skin and helps to replenish lost moisture. This prevents the skin from drying out further. Krappa oil ensures that your skin feels supple and soft again, even after a long day in the sun.
• Calming: Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, krappa oil reduces redness and irritation. It gives your skin a soothing feeling and relieves the burning sensation that often accompanies sunburned skin.
• Recovery: The antioxidants in the oil support the skin’s natural recovery process and protect against further damage. Regular use of krappa oil can help your skin recover faster and regain its healthy glow.
• Power supply: Krappa oil nourishes the skin with essential fatty acids, which helps to strengthen the skin barrier. This makes your skin more resistant to future damage and helps to maintain a healthy glow.
• Versatile use: Afiba Naturals krappa oil is 100% natural, vegetarian and cruelty-free. It is also very suitable for use in the hair and can even be used safely on children and babies.
