Moisturizing

The emollient properties of cupuacu butter make this an excellent ingredient to include in moisturizers, soaps, and creams. And cupuacu butter is specifically beneficial at deeply moisturizing dry, itchy skin.

With the melting point of cupuacu butter being between 34-37 degrees Celsius, it’s solid at room temperature and melts when it’s applied to the skin. This gives cupuacu butter an advantage as a cream or lotion to disperse evenly while locking in moisture to hydrate the skin.

Anti-aging

Cupuacu butter benefits are so valuable is its high concentration of antioxidant compounds, that include fatty acids: oleic acid, palmitic acid, and stearic acid. These fatty acids are beneficial for the body and aid in neutralizing free radicals in the skin.

The antioxidant benefits of cupuacu butter protect the skin from environmental and external pressures that can lead to irritation or damage to the skin. By reducing the extent of oxidative stress, cupuacu butter can help to reduce the signs of aging, especially wrinkles and dark patches.

Healing & clear skin

Acne is an incredibly embarrassing problem for both men and women of all ages. The bacteria that produced the acne infection are killed off by powerful antioxidants, such as the ones present in cupuacu butter. This natural ingredient has amazing skin benefits that not only kill off bacteria but also help to smooth out the scars left behind by acne.

 

Skin affected by acne can easily become damaged, but cupuacu butter helps to encourage new cell growth and quicker healing times. Essentially, cupuacu butter helps the dry skin remaining after a breakout to be healed to smooth, soft skin, by sealing in moisture.

Cupuacu butter benefits on acne, and the damaged skin acne leaves behind, can be extremely powerful! However, it’s probably best used in small concentrations in creams or in spot treatments on healing blemishes rather than as a full-strength facial moisturizer.

 

It’s also a popular treatment for scars like stretch marks, though there is no science supporting the claim that any topical ingredient prevents stretch marks. Cupuacu butter does contain a high content of vitamin E and deep-penetrating moisturizers provide skin with building blocks for renewal, so it does support better nourished, more hydrated skin overall with regular use.

 

Lips moisturizing

Lips don’t contain oil glands like other parts of the skin. Little humidity in the air during the winter months is known to cause chapped lips. Frequent sun exposure in the summer can also worsen your condition. Another common cause of chapped lips is habitual licking. Cupuacu butter benefits on dry and chapped lips provides instant relief and is a great natural substitute for commercially made chap sticks that may contain harmful steroids that prevent the body from naturally re-hydrating itself.

Smooth soft hair

Using moisture or moisture with protein will assist in keeping your hair’s health and manageability. Make your hair healthy and natural silky soft hair comes your way. Regular application of cupuacu butter-based products will help you straighten frizzy hair and also soften it considerably. Its powerful hydrating properties naturally moisturize brittle hair and help it regain a natural smoothness and shine.

​

Skin toning

Using a toner has beneficial properties if your skin is congested or starving for vitamins, hydration, or nutrients. It can even help balance the pH of your skin, which can prevent dryness, premature wrinkles, and fine lines. Cupuacu butter has proven to be a terrific anti-aging toner and most effectively tackles premature wrinkles that appear around the forehead and eyes. Its high anti-oxidant content combats all free radicals in the skin that gives rise to such unsightly wrinkles.

​

Enhances elasticity

Predominately, youthful skin is taut and supple. This is because your skin has an abundance of collagen and elastin. These two proteins, collagen gives skin its structure, and elastin allows your skin to stretch. And as you age you produce less and less and this is why the skin looses its bounce and elasticity. Cupuacu butter’s high stearic and oleic acid levels make it a strong emollient which helps improve skin elasticity and prevents premature skin aging. Regular application of the butter after a shower enhances the skin’s collagen production and makes it look younger also.

 

SPF

SPF protects us from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays: UVA and UVB. UVB rays are responsible for sunburn. UVA rays, on the other hand, penetrate deeper into the skin. These rays can lead to long-term effects like wrinkling, premature aging and other skin damage. Cupuacu butter’s high Vitamin E content protects the skin from the sun’s deadly UV rays. This makes it an ideal sun screen that not only protects the skin but nourishes it, too.

 

Cupuacu butter has similar look to Shea butter and Cocoa butter. It’s often compared to the two staple butters. However, there are some notable differences. Cupuacu butter has a smoother texture than cocoa butter and it is softer and more moisturizing than Shea butter. It has a mild chocolate taste and a slight aroma. It does not have any known allergic reactions.
