Cupuacu Butter - Ultra Refined is obtained from the fruit seed of the cupuacu tree (Theobroma grandiflorum) found growing wild in the eastern subregion of the Brazilian Amazonia. Cupuacu fruit is used to produce juices and sorbets in its native South America. The seeds contain approximately 48% of a sweet-smelling "butter" which is stable and has a high capacity for water absorption, often being compared functionally with Lanolin. Cupuacu Butter - Ultra Refined is an excellent emollient for cosmetic formulations and may be used to prevent drying of the skin and development of wrinkles, to reduce degeneration of skin cells, and to restore flexibility, moisture retention ability and elasticity to the skin.
