More details about Kahai
Company overview
Kahai S.A.S. develops and markets products from Cacay (Caryodendron orinocense), a tree native to the Amazon and Orinoco regions. According to its official company page, Kahai was the first business to industrialize Cacay and integrates the value chain from cultivation and harvesting through processing and commercialization. The company identifies Bogotá D.C. as its contact location, places its processing operation in Villavicencio and describes plantations near Puerto Gaitán in Meta, eastern Colombia.
Cosmetic ingredient and finished products
For cosmetic formulators and brands, Kahai offers bulk Cacay oil in 0.9 kg, 4.5 kg and 18 kg formats. The company describes the ingredient as a natural oil containing linoleic acid, vitamin E and retinol, and provides an official technical data sheet and ingredient brochure. Its retail Kahai Oil is presented as 100% pure, cold-pressed Cacay oil for skin, hair and nail care. Claims concerning anti-ageing performance, hydration, collagen support, sebum regulation and clinical efficacy are claims published by Kahai; prospective buyers should review the supporting technical and test documentation for their intended market and formulation.
Integrated Cacay portfolio
Beyond cosmetic oil, the official ingredient page lists Cacay protein, Cacay nuts and Cacay-tree honey. Raw-material sales are restricted to companies and enquiries are handled through a business form. This broader portfolio reflects Kahai’s stated aim of using multiple outputs from the fruit and moving toward a zero-waste processing model. Kahai also says it developed grafting methods and processing machinery for the crop, although these technology claims have not been independently assessed here.
Sourcing and sustainability
Kahai reports more than 650 hectares of its own plantations and a goal of promoting reforestation across 5,000 hectares in Colombia’s Amazon and Orinoco regions. It also says wild harvesting and social programmes generate income for peasant and Indigenous families. These acreage, impact and community statements are first-party claims. The company states that it applies Fair Trade principles, but the reviewed pages do not establish a specific third-party Fairtrade certification. Kahai also reports exports to more than 12 countries. Buyers seeking substantiation should request current certificates, traceability records, specifications, safety information and regulatory documents directly from the company.
