Discover our Unrefined Tucuma Butter

Tucuma Butter is similar to Murumuru Butter in terms of look, texture, and characteristics. Tucuma's softer texture makes it easier to spread, creating a soft, luxurious feeling on skin and hair with just the right touch of moisture. Unrefined Tucuma Butter has an inviting aroma of caramel, coffee, and nuts that varies in intensity depending on location and time of year. Its hue ranges from light yellow to a rich yellow, and its texture is luxuriously soft.

Tucuma butter is a rich source of essential fatty acids, crucial to healthy cell development and offers excellent skin feel and moisture binding characteristics. Tucuma Butter forms an invisible shield over skin and hair, preserving essential fatty acids and avoiding any harm to the lipid barrier. Its light composition is just like a silicon-based protector, but without blocking your pores. Not only is it great for dry skin, but it's also a wonderful choice for those with oilier skin types.

With approximately 47% lauric acid content, Tucuma Butter is an ideal selection for addressing damaged tresses, defining curls, and shielding hair from heat styling tools; and can be added to hair care formulations to replace silicones. Tucuma butter is excellent for formulations for dry hair with split ends. It penetrates the cuticle of the hair to replace the loss of structural lipids and replenish moisture, giving back the natural elasticity and leaving hair soft, strong and silky. Highly recommended for curly hair and in regeneration of ethic hair.
