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.
