Product Information
-
Pili Ani is the first and only company in the world that offers beauty and wellness products using the Pili Tree, which is indigenous to the Philippines. Pili Oil, extracted from the pulp of the fruit, is laden with antioxidants and has intense moisturizing properties. Elemi Oil, on the other hand, is tapped from the bark of the Pili Tree and naturally contains antibacterial and firming properties. In fact, a well-known French luxury label, which has a history that dates over a hundred years, has been utilizing this precious ingredient in their Ultra Correction Lift cream.

Safety & Claims
-
Yes, our products are generally safe for pregnant women—they're natural and FDA- and USFDA-approved. Every pregnancy is different, however, and it’s best to consult your physician about the skincare regimen best suited for you. Check out our cruelty-free, paraben-free, SLS-free, ethical, sustainable, and vegan products!
-
Pili Ani doesn’t use the Pili Nut directly—only the oil from the pulp of the Pili Fruit. But if you have nut allergies, it’s always better to side with caution. We recommend doing a patch test before using our products.
-
Potential allergens such as limonene, linalool, citral, citronellal, and geraniol may be found in our fragrances and essential oils. When we incorporate fragrances into our products, however, we make sure that the fragrances are hypoallergenic by using only a minimal amount that will barely trigger a reaction.
When in doubt, we highly recommend doing a patch test before using our products.
-
Our Pili Trees grow in the wild and are not cultivated. Technically speaking, we have yet to secure our certifications from OCs or Organic Certifiers. We’re on to it, though! Do note that our products are natural and FDA- and USFDA-approved. We don’t test on animals and we’re PETA certified.
-
Our oils may be used six to eight months after the mandatory expiry date. We’re talking oil, not wine, however. We can no longer ensure the best quality and efficacy past the posted best-before date.
-
Our products are natural and FDA- and USFDA-approved. We don’t test on animals and we’re PETA certified.

-
Pili Ani face oils have been tested and certified non-comedogenic by a third party laboratory. “Comedogenic” is an adjective that describes the likelihood of a product to clog pores. Non-comedogenic means it’s something that won’t clog pores.

Harmful chemicals are not used in any of our formulations and we make it a point to use only natural ingredients. If you have sensitive skin or are prone to allergies, we recommend doing a patch test before using our products.

Since essential oils come from plants, most people assume it’s okay for kids to use. A word of caution: Each essential oil has a different recommendation for use most especially for children below 2 years old. It’s best to consult with your physician.
