Is this butter refined?
No. This Bacuri Butter is 100% unrefined and cold-pressed, preserving its natural fatty acids, antioxidants, and skin-nourishing properties. Refining would strip these beneficial components.

Does this butter have a scent?
Bacuri Butter has a mild, faintly fruity aroma that reflects its natural Amazonian origin. The scent is subtle and pleasant, and blends well with tropical or floral essential oils in DIY formulations.

Absolutely. Bacuri Butter is a valued ingredient in body butters, restorative balms, hair treatments, and face creams. Its rich texture and fatty acid profile make it especially effective in moisture-intensive formulations.
