Our Tucuma Butter has been obtained from the fruit of the Brazilian Amazon tree (Astrocaryum Tucuma). The large fruits are edible and valued for their flavor in South America. From its seeds a light colored butter is obtained which has a unique, characteristic odor and behavior similar to Murumuru butter.
This butter has a natural gloss that brings a desirable shine to dry, damaged hair and can act as a wonderful skin moisturizer, exhibiting great lubricity. Tucuma butter is solid at room temperature, but melts immediately on contact with the skin. Tucuma butter has great emolliency and skin feel which are a result of its high levels of Lauric, Myristic, and Oleic fatty Acids.
Suggested uses: Creams, lotions, balms, make-up foundations and bar soaps. Use from 3% to 100% pure (as a butter-like balm). Efficacy: Prevents drying of the skin due to its moisture binding properties. Appearance: White/ivory-colored solid fat. SAP value: 225-250. INCI: Astrocaryum Tucuma Seed Butter

I was looking for butter that would not be greasy for my hair butter/pomade mixture and this is it. I melted it with beeswax, cocoa butter and a little Shea butter, once melted I added some jojoba, avocado and castor oil. This mixture gave my hair incredible shine and awesome softness. Thank you Camden Grey.

It is a wonderful butter for skincare.
I bought it a while back from Camden Grey and I am so glad to see that they still carry it. It has a long shelf life and I used it to make salves and creams for eczema. It is great on its own as well.
I now need some more so will get some soon!

Tucuma is a great addition to body butters, deep conditioners and lotion bars. Texture wise, it's hard and best mixed with a softer butter or an oil (such as shea/coconut oil) for body butters/souffles. When sampled on my skin and found it to be moisturizing yet nongreasy. I have eczema and looking at the difference between my hands side by side were like night and day!

Carrier oils and most other liquids are dispensed in individual HDPE plastic pails or containers with some type of handle, each container holds the purchased net weight of liquid.
