Cupuaçu butter is found to be 2X more hydrating than Shea butter, making it a very effective concentrated moisturizer for dry and itchy skin.
WHAT IS CUPUAÇU BUTTER?
The cupuaçu is a tropical rainforest tree that is similar to cacao. It is regularly harvested from the Amazon basin in South America, including Colombia, Bolivia and Peru. Cupuaçu butter is derived from the seed of the cupuaçu tree, and is generally extracted via a cold-press method to preserve its buttery-soft texture and fatty components. It has a consistency similar to lanolin, which is derived from wool-bearing animals, so it’s often used as an excellent sustainable, vegan alternative to this product in cosmetics
WHAT MAKES CUPUAÇU BUTTER GREAT?
Not only is it is a powerhouse of beneficial fatty acids that help improve the skin’s hydration and elasticity but it sinks deep into the pores, which also helps to ward off free radicals and other damaging environmental agents that can cause premature aging and other undesirable skin issues.
