Cupuacu Butter, V
$8.00 – $118.00Price range: $8.00 through $118.00 USD
INCI: Theobroma Grandiflorum Seed Butter
Cupuacu Butter is a luxurious, nutrient-rich botanical butter pressed from the seeds of the Amazonian cupuaçu fruit (Theobroma grandiflorum), a close relative of cacao. Revered for its remarkable ability to retain water and support deep skin hydration, Cupuacu Butter is considered one of the most effective natural moisturizers available for cosmetic formulation. Its unique phytosterol composition allows it to absorb and retain significantly more water than many traditional plant butters, helping to improve skin elasticity and deliver long-lasting hydration.
Unlike heavier butters that can feel waxy or occlusive, Cupuacu Butter melts smoothly into the skin, providing a silky, cushiony texture that nourishes without leaving a greasy residue. Naturally rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and plant sterols, it helps soften dry skin, restore suppleness, and support the skin barrier. This versatile butter is widely used in creams, body butters, balms, hair treatments, and lip care products where deep conditioning and luxurious texture are desired.
