Cupuacu Butter - Virgin Cupuacu Butter

Cupuacu butter originates from the Amazon Rainforest in South America. Natives widely use the Cupuacu tree and its delicious, chocolaty-smelling fruit. The fruit falls freely from the trees during the heavy rainy season, and its seeds are cold-pressed to form Cupuacu butter for commercial sale and are used worldwide. The Cupuacu fruit is highly creamy in nature and the butter that is derived by grinding its seeds is full of antioxidants and vitamins that work wonders for the hair, skin, and body. Its high phytosterol content helps treat damaged and dry skin by enhancing collagen production. Cupuacu butter also stabilizes emulsions and is known as a vegan alternative to beeswax in DIY beauty products.

Note:  When ordering natural butter or oil, it is important to recognize that exposure to elevated temperatures during shipping or processing can affect its texture. In such instances, the butter may become liquefied, but it can be subsequently emulsified and rapidly cooled, resulting in a smoother, more homogeneous consistency upon solidification.  Additionally, a white film may appear on the top layer.  That is normal and is referred to as fat blossom.  It is a thin layer of separated fats from the product.
