Virgin Cupuaçu butter - Product Abstract - Creamy and emollient butter, which promotes a pleasant touch, smoothness and softness to the skin and hair, boosting the recovery of its natural moisture and elasticity. Highly beneficial for dry and damaged skin and hair, promoting deep, long lasting hydration. Its high water absorption capacity, due to its high phytosterol levels, makes Cupuacu an effective alternative to lanolin from the seeds of the Cupuacu Tree in Brazil. Common Uses - Body butters, hand lotions, lipsticks, mask, skin, hair. The extracted oil from cupuaçu seeds offers fantastic properties for the cosmetic industry. The cupuaçu butter is a triglyceride that has a balanced composition of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, which gives the product a low melting point (approximately 30 °C) and an appearance of a soft solid that penetrates quickly when in contact with skin. Cupuaçu butter has high capacity to absorb water, approximately 120% higher than lanolin, and can act as a plant-based substitute for it. It contains phytosterols (especially beta-sitosterol) that operate at the cellular level to regulate water balance and the activity of lipids in the superficial layer of the skin. Its ability to absorb large amounts of water can be attributed to the hydrogen bridges formed between the water molecules and phytosterols. • This product does not contain color additives or the presence of poisonous or deleterious substances, such as pathogenic microorganisms.
