Common Uses - Tucuma Butter unusually rich in lauric, myristic and oleic acids, and is considered to have excellent emollient and skin-softening properties.

Tucuma Butter's natural gloss brings a shine to dry, damaged hair and can act as a wonderful skin moisturizer.
Tucuma Butter is solid at room temperature but melts immediately on contact with the skin. Tucuma's great emollient and skin feel come from its high levels of Lauric, Myristic, 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.

Do you know?
Tucuma butter is quite hard at room temperature but it melts immediately on contact with the skin, making it ideal as a massage butter or body balm. This exotic light-colored butter has a gloss that imparts a natural shine to the hair, even dry and damaged hair, and its lubricity helps to keep the skin soft, smooth and nourished. Its addition to soaps, creams, lotions, body butters, conditioners, masks and more gives a wonderful emollient quality. This species is native to the Amazonian region, more specifically from the state of Pará, where it has its center of the distribution, and reaches French Guiana and Suriname. It is a characteristic palm of dry land, low vegetation cover, or even open fields. There are two species of tucumã in the Amazon, tucumã-do-para (Astocaryum vulgare) and the tucumã-do-Amazonas (Astrocaryum tucuma). The tree of tucumã-do-para is 10 to 15 m in height and regenerates easily by growing multiple stems, while the tucumã-do-Amazonas can reach 25 m in height and forms a solitary trunk. Its fruits are also larger, its pulp is fleshier, less fibrous, and less sweet than the pulp of tucumã-do-Pará.
