Nanichi | Deep Comfort Oil
Nanichi — "love" in Taíno, the indigenous language of Borikén (Puerto Rico)
Named from the Taíno word for love, Nanichi is a whole-plant botanical preparation rooted in the plant heritage of the Caribbean. The result is a carrier oil elevated into a functional herbal preparation — made by hand in Borikén.
Moringa seed oil is rich in oleic acid, tocopherols (Vitamin E), and plant sterols — documented to reduce skin inflammation, support the barrier, and deeply nourish dry or reactive skin.
Cacao has been revered across Mesoamerican and Caribbean traditions as a heart-opening plant — used in ceremony to invite warmth, presence, and emotional release. Its polyphenols, theobromine, and flavonoids also work physically: improving skin elasticity, reducing redness, and protecting against oxidative stress. The aroma alone is grounding.
Together: anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, barrier-supportive, and heart-centered. No synthetics.
Ideal for massage, bodywork, Reiki, and daily skin nourishment. Silky glide, gradual absorption, warm grounding aroma. Apply after shower to seal in moisture.
Texture: Silky · Cushioning · Soft-finish

Notes
Entre las respuestas más favorables de mis clientes destacan las fragancias sutiles, siendo el de cacao (Nanichi) el favorito. el aceite se siente ligero y de rápida absorción, lo cual resulta muy agradable para los clientes.
As a massage therapist and Aromatherapist, I have experienced a lot of different oils and essences , and so when I say I loved the Cacao oil from PetraAroma Believe me when I tell you it makes the skin feel luxuriant- absorbs well and leaves a smooth texture . Not to mention the smell , which is what got me in the first moment. I love the smell of Cacao so I was truly in love with this oil . It’s moisturizing while feeding or nourishing the skin - I’m ordering more!!
