Tucuma Butter - Ultra Refined

The Tucuma Butter supplied by BioChemica has been obtained from the fruit of the Brazilian Amazon tree (Astrocaryum Tucuma). The large fruits are edible and valued for their flavor in South America. From it's seeds a light colored butter is obtained which has a unique, characteristic odor and behavior similar to Murumuru Butter. The butter's natural gloss brings a desirable shine to dry, damaged hair and can act as a wonderful skin moisturizer, exhibiting great lubricity. Tucuma Butter is solid at room temperature, but melts immediately on contact with the skin. Tucuma's great emolliency and skin feel come from its high levels of Lauric, Myrstic, and Oleic fatty acids. Suggested uses: Creams, lotions, balms, make-up foundations and bar soaps. Use from 3% to 100% pure (as a butter-like balm). Efficacy: Prevents drying of the skin due to its moisture binding properties.
