Ucuuba Butter - Wild Harvested Unrefined

What is Ucuuba Butter?

Uccuba (Virola surinamensis) is native to the floodplains of Central and South America. It is sometimes referred to as baboonwood or wild nutmeg. The tree produces a small red covered fruit surrounding the seed which is then cold pressed into a rich warm beeswax smelling butter - brown to light brown in color.

Discover the powerful anti-aging properties of Ucuuba Butter that can rejuvenate, tone, and deeply hydrate dry and mature skin. It can also be used to aid in the relief of arthritic pain as well as help to heal skin ulcerations. With its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, it is an excellent ingredient for treating acne, eczema, and irritated skin. Not only is this butter ideal in skincare, but is also excellent in promoting the health and protection of your scalp and hair!

Ucuuba butter's high concentration of fatty acids, including an impressive 75% Myristic acid, allows for quick penetration into the skin and helps maintain moisture. Ucuuba is also abundant in Vitamin C and Vitamin A, making it a valuable ingredient for skin and haircare products. Its rich levels of Lauric and Palmitic Acid make it ideal for nourishing the scalp and promoting healthy hair growth. The natural antiseptic properties aid in clarifying the scalp, while Vitamin A and C work to protect hair from free radical damage, enhance elasticity, and prevent breakage. Additionally, Vitamin C strengthens hair and promotes scalp health, while Vitamin A soothes and hydrates the scalp, reducing frizz and dryness and preventing breakage. Ucuuba's fatty acid profile and vitamin content are essential for healing and protecting the scalp from external factors such as pollution and UV rays that can cause damage and brittle hair. Transform and nourish your hair with Ucuuba - its fatty acids penetrate the hair shaft, improving elasticity and strength. The powerful antioxidants in Ucuuba also defend against free radicals and repair damage caused by pollution and harsh chemicals. Say goodbye to chemical-laden hair and skin products and embrace natural, healthy beauty.

Experience the versatility and benefits of this butter by incorporating it into your hair and skincare formulations. Use it to replace waxes for a vegan product, create healing salves and balms, or indulge in a luxurious whipped body butter or hair conditioning mask. Due to the hardness of this butter, you would just need to increase the oils when blending. For a salve or balm, maybe try a 2 parts butter to 1.5-2.0 parts oil and for a whipped body butter or hair mask, experiment with a 1:1 ratio.
