FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Brazilian Beauty Staple: Sourced from the seeds of the Cupuacu tree, Cupuacu Butter – Ultra Refined (pronounced kuh-POO-a-soo) is a beloved beauty staple in Brazil. Its ultra-refined form means it’s been carefully processed for purity, resulting in a smoother texture, lighter color, and a soft, subtly sweet aroma reminiscent of cocoa butter.
A Softer Substitute: With a similar consistency to Cocoa and Shea Butter, refined Cupuacu Butter offers a gentler alternative that’s less heavy yet deeply nourishing. Its silky feel and mild scent make it ideal for formulations where richness is desired without the weight.
Featherlight & Firming: Rich in phytosterols, Cupuacu Butter helps improve elasticity and promote the look of plump, supple skin. Its ability to absorb water makes it a top choice for long-lasting hydration that keeps skin smooth and comfortably dewy.
Soft Shield for Skin: This creamy butter forms a breathable barrier that helps protect against moisture loss and environmental stressors like dry air and extreme temperatures. Perfect for dry, flaky, or irritated skin.
Curls Love Cupuacu: A saviour for dry, damaged, or textured hair, Cupuacu Butter delivers deep moisture without buildup. It smooths without greasiness and helps restore bounce, shine, and softness to curls and strands.
DESCRIPTION
From deep in the Amazon emerges a butter unlike any other. Cupuacu Butter Ultra Refined offers rich, lasting hydration with a luxuriously creamy texture and a soft, subtly sweet scent.
Extracted by cold pressing the seeds of the Cupuacu tree, a cousin of cacao, this butter is a long-loved staple in Brazilian beauty rituals. Its ultra-refined form has been carefully processed for purity, resulting in a smoother consistency and lighter color while preserving its natural benefits for skin and hair.
Cupuacu Butter is especially valued for its high capacity to retain water, making it an exceptional emollient for dry, flaky, or maturing skin. Naturally rich in phytosterols, it helps improve elasticity, support moisture retention, and restore softness to both skin and hair. Its silky texture and impressive hydration also make it a gentle, plant-based alternative to lanolin in cosmetic formulations.
Hard at room temperature and deeply conditioning upon contact, Cupuacu Butter Ultra Refined melts easily into creams, balms, foundations, and hair masks, bringing smoothness, softness, and a hint of the tropics to every blend.
