Frequently Asked Questions
Is this butter refined?
No. This Cupuacu Butter is 100% unrefined and cold-pressed, preserving its natural phytosterols, antioxidants, and fatty acid profile. Refining would strip these skin-restoring properties.
Can this be used on hair?
Yes. Cupuacu Butter provides lightweight conditioning for hair without heavy buildup. Apply a small amount warmed between palms to lengths and ends as a moisturizing sealant, or use as a pre-shampoo treatment for 20–30 minutes before washing.
Does this butter have a scent?
Cupuacu Butter has a mild, faintly sweet aroma reminiscent of white chocolate. The scent is subtle and pleasant, blending well with floral or citrus essential oils in DIY formulations.
Is this suitable for DIY formulations?
Absolutely. Cupuacu Butter is highly valued in professional cosmetic formulations for its superior moisture absorption and skin-feel. It works beautifully in face creams, body butters, anti-aging serums, and eczema-care products.
Why is the texture different from previous batches?
Because this is a natural, minimally processed botanical ingredient, variations in color, texture, and aroma may naturally occur between harvests and batches. This is a sign of authenticity, not a quality issue.
