Cupuacu Butter
Cupuacu Butter, derived from the seeds of the Cupuacu tree (Theobroma grandiflorum) native to the Amazon rainforest, is a luxurious and versatile ingredient celebrated for its exceptional moisturizing and emollient properties. Available in both natural and deodorized forms, Cupuacu Butter is a valuable addition to a variety of personal care formulations.
Natural Cupuacu Butter retains its characteristic aroma and is rich in phytosterols, polyphenols, and essential fatty acids. These compounds work synergistically to support collagen production, soothe dry and damaged skin, and enhance the skin's moisture barrier. The butter's unique ability to retain water allows it to provide deep hydration, leaving the skin feeling soft and supple. Additionally, its antioxidant properties help protect the skin from environmental stressors, contributing to a more youthful appearance. Natural Cupuacu Butter features a mild, earthy scent with notes reminiscent of cocoa and tropical fruit, often likened to a soft blend of chocolate and pineapple. Its gentle, slightly sweet aroma adds a natural richness to formulations and pairs well with other botanical ingredients.
Deodorized Cupuacu Butter offers the same beneficial properties as its natural counterpart but with a neutral scent, making it ideal for formulations where the natural aroma might interfere with other fragrance components. This version is particularly suitable for products aimed at sensitive skin or for those who prefer unscented skincare options.
