Rainforest Chica Get Whipped Hair Butter

There is no way you won't get whipped by this 100% natural (no BS, 100% active ingredients, 100% organic and/or wild harvested, nothing made up in a lab) hair butter.

It comes in a recyclable tin can that can have many uses after you are done with this butter.

You just have to use a little tiny bit. This whipped butter is very light, and not too greasy. It can be used as pre-wash treatment, leave in conditioner, deep treatment (on wet hair with help of heat) and to tame frizzy hair flyaways.

Handmade with love using 100% Active Ingredients, (nothing is added just for volume or any other reason that is not protecting and feeding your skin,) that are 100% Organic and/or Wild Harvested.
It has been tested only on our human friends and they all look great.
Net weight 4 oz.


The Amazon butters and oils have been tested by generation's of rainforest's indigenous and local people. They are used for cooking, baking, healing, moisturizing and protecting against the elements.

When we consume Amazon's self-sustainable products we give the local people an alternative to logging and farming which are the two largest responsible factors of the deforestation of such an important ecosystem.


MURUMURU Butter - (Astrocaryum murumurú,Arecaceae)
This Butter is rich in lauric, myristic, oleic acid and Pro-Vitamin A. It is a powerful skin barrier repair agent and an excellent natural moisturizer.

CUPUAÇU Butter - (Theobroma Grandiflorum, Malvaceae)
It has very high water absorption capacity (over 200% greater than lanolin). Due to its capacity for water absorption and the ability to obstruct the evaporation of moisture from the hair, Cupuaçu butter restores the hairs's natural humidity and elasticity.
Contains phytosterols (particularly beta-sitosterol) which help regulate water balance and lipid layer of hair.

BABASSU Oil - this oil does amazing things for the hair. It’s being added to shampoo bars and gives curly hairs magnificent strength and elasticity from the roots down to the tips. It also acts like an exfoliator by removing hair product residues from each hair strand leaving hair shiny and full of life.

PRACAXI Oil - Pracachy (Pentaclethra macroloba, Leguminosae-Mimosoideae) - When applied to hair care products, it provides an excellent conditioning effect, eases combing, and enhances hair smoothness and shine.

Whip It Good - tips on whipped butters!

After a few experiments, using many different butter and oil combinations I had amazing successes and some sad and ugly results.
Even though you should think first of the amazing properties of the products you are whipping, your whipped butter should also be pleasurable to your senses.

Skin: in order to have a somewhat firm whipped butter you need a butter with a higher melting point, I use Cocoa butter or Ucuuba butter. Cocoa butter has a bit of a draggy feel and Ucuuba is very hard and brown. So it is a matter of personal taste.
This harder butter should be at least 1/3 of your recipe.

For hair I use MuruMuru and Cupuacu, a hair butter needs to be lighter, but it will melt faster if left in warm conditions.

For your other butter you can choose something that you love, taking in consideration the butter skin/hair properties, the feel, smell and color of it.

For example: I love unrefined shea butter but can't stand the smell of it, refined shea butter loses some of its properties and it is a lot greasier.

I usually like mixing all of my butters for skin. On this recipe you can see the cocoa butter wafers in the bottom, then I added Cupuacu, Shea, MuruMuru and, the amazing but ugly, Bacuri.


A lot of recipes call for coconut oil being 1/3 of your whipped butter, but when using oils with a lower melting point (liquid oils) you need to use less of them.

I never make more than 12-24 oz of butter at time, I use a very clean (sometimes it takes 10 washes and some soaking) glass jar to melt the butters.



After the butters are all melted I add the oils, I have so many amazing oils I can afford to skip coconut oil. Since my oils are liquid, they make up just about 20% of my recipe.



When I use Bacuri butter the melted result, as you can see, is very dark, even if Bacuri is just 10% of my recipe, don't worry, once it is whipped it will become a yellow/beige butter.

After mixing the oils with your butter, you need to pour the mix into the container you will use to whip it, and put in the fridge until it is cooler and semi-solid (at least the top).

I use a regular mixer, since they are kinda cheap I recommend you have one just for your butters. You don't want pieces of food falling into you creation.



I just found out that a cylinder container will work A WHOLE LOT better for your whipping, I was amazed how much faster my butter was ready once I tried this container:


It was just luck, I was being lazy and wanted to whip in the same container I would keep the butter, but from now on I will never whip on a regular bowl again.

This is my hair butter with Muru Muru, Cupuacu, Babassu and Pracaxi, it is fluffy, light, almost white, but I would not trust it in room temperature here in Florida...


Listen, I have read a lot on whipped butters, but ultimately, it is not an exact science. It is supposed to be fun and good for you, you need to like the feel, look and smell of it and you need to enjoy making it!

If you have skin conditions some of these butters and oils can help, Pracaxi oil, for example, is amazing for scars and hyper-pigmentation, Bacuri oil helps with eczema, most of them will help with the prevention of stretch marks and help to diminish the appearances of them.

If you want a scent in your butter, use a good quality essential oil, just a few drops should be enough, I mix it right before I am about to whip.

I think that is it, please contact me to add to this post, ask anything, thank me or tell me I am full of sh*t and your recipe exploded!! 

In my Etsy store I sell a Six Oil Sampler and a Five Butter Samples, 1 oz of each one of my oils or  butters.

 Five Butter Sample 

You can also use most butters on your puppies and cats with skin conditions...

Now for the small print:

I only work with Amazonian Rainforest products. My products don't go through 2-3 different warehouses before getting to you. I bring them straight from their origin in small quantities, to assure freshness and quality. Besides being a great product, the manufacturing of my oils and butters protect the Rainforest and helps the indigenous and local people

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.
Product for cosmetic use only, not suited for human consumption!

You just have to use a little tiny bit. This whipped butter is not very light, it is made of oils and butters only, in order to make lotion
s more easily absorbed we need to add a few things that do not come straight from the Nature, like IPM and IPP. They are not bad but our mission is having products with 100% natural ingredients, nothing that has spent a lot of time being created at a laboratory. Some of my test subjects just use this butter when they are very dry, some use twice a day even on their faces.


The Amazon butters and oils have been tested by generations of rainforest's indigenous and local people. They are used for cooking, baking, healing, moisturizing and protecting against the elements. 
Shea butter has been used in Africa for thousands of years for cooking, skin and hair care.

When we consume Amazon's self-sustainable products we give the local people an alternative to logging and farming which are the two largest responsible factors of the deforestation of such an important ecosystem.

It comes in two scents: Grapefruit-Lemon and Lavender-Peppermint. We only use superior quality essential oils.

We all know the benefits of Coconut Oil, Shea Butter and Cocoa Butter on skin and hair care, now it is time to get to know the other ingredients:

MURUMURU Butter - (Astrocaryum murumurú,Arecaceae)
This Butter is rich in lauric, myristic, oleic acid and Pro-Vitamin A. It is a powerful skin barrier repair agent and an excellent natural moisturizer. It works beneath skin’s surface repairing loss of elasticity by improving collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and protecting the skin against environmental factors that causes prematurely aging.

CUPUAÇU Butter - (Theobroma Grandiflorum, Malvaceae)
Cupuaçu Butter contains phytosterols which exert anti-inflammatory action in skin by acting as free radical scavengers, essential fatty acids omegas 3 and 6, the antioxidant vitamins C and A and high amount of phosphorus.
It has very high water absorption capacity (over 200% greater than lanolin). Due to its capacity for water absorption and the ability to obstruct the evaporation of moisture from the skin, Cupuaçu butter restores the skin's natural humidity and elasticity.
Contains phytosterols (particularly beta-sitosterol) which help regulate water balance and lipid layer of the skin. 
Great for treating dermatitis skin disorders and stimulating healing processes.

BACURI Butter - (Platonia insignis, Clusiaceae)
The grease of the Bacuri oil has a high absorption rate, due to its high level of tripalmitin (50% to 55%), which penetrates the skin quickly. The high amount of fatty palmitoleic acid (5%), compared to other oils (less than or equal to 0.5 to 1.5%), makes the Bacuri oil a fantastic emollient, which can also be used as a moisturizing agent.
Said to be an effective remedy against insect bites, treatment of problem skin, arthritis and rheumatism. Can be used to reduce the appearance of blemishes and reduce scarring. 

PRACAXI Oil - Pracachy (Pentaclethra macroloba, Leguminosae-Mimosoideae)
Pracaxi oil is an extraordinary oil with several cosmetic, therapeutic and medicinal properties. It has been commonly referred as “the miracle oil”. Pracaxi oil has 19% of Behenic acid (6 times higher than that of peanut oil) being one of the highest sources on the acid of all plants known and also lignoceric acid with strong moisturizing properties.
Pracaxi oil has strong antibacterial, antiviral, antiseptic, antifungal, antiseptic, anti-parasitic, anti hemorrhagic properties. 
Pracaxi oil is reported also to help lighten hyper-pigmentation caused by hormonal changes and as a direct result of some type of injury to the skin such insect bites or itchy rashes, abrasions or cuts, acne or acne cysts, burns, hair waxing, improperly performed laser treatments, besides improving the appearance of stretch marks.

BURITI Oil - (Mauritia Flexuosa, Arecaceae)
High in oleic acid (72%) and a natural source highly rich in beta-carotene, 5 x higher than Carrot Oil. Beta carotene is one of the most power antioxidants known for high capacity cell renewal and is great for anti-aging formulations due to its ability to increase skin elasticity.
