Cupuaçu Butter - Uses and Benefits

Cupuacu has a distinctive smell, like a fruity chocolate. 
It goes from light yellow to yellow, it does not feel very heavy upon application and it is softer than it's cousin, cocoa butter.
It is a natural, plant based, alternative to lanolin, offering the capacity to attract 240% more water allowing it to function much more effectively as a skin hydrator and plumper.

My Cupuacu butter comes straight from Brazil and, for now, is sold in 2oz resealable ouches. I do accept custom orders!  I also have a Butter Sampler, 1 oz each of Muru Muru, Cupuaçu, Tucuma, Ucuuba and Bacuri butters.

My oils and butters are are wild harvested grown naturally in the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest without any pesticides, they are fair trade and self sustainable.
