Ucuuba Butter

Ucuuba Butter is a treasured natural beauty ingredient, sourced from the seeds of the Ucuuba tree, native to the vibrant floodplains of Central and South America. Known for its distinctive light brown colour, nutty aroma, and firm texture, this unrefined butter is prized for its deeply nourishing and restorative properties. With a high melting point of 53°C, it is both versatile and enduring, making it an excellent addition to your skincare and haircare formulations.

Rich in fatty acids such as Lauric, Myristic, and Palmitic acids, as well as Vitamins A and C, this butter is especially beneficial for dry, mature, or irritated skin. Its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic qualities further enhance its value, making it a premium choice for those seeking effective, planet-friendly beauty solutions.
