Cupuaçu (Theobroma grandiflorum), is a tree from the primary and rainy forests of the Amazon. The resulting butter, which is refined in France using a process developed by experts at Laboratoires Expanscience, is entirely decolourized and deodorized, and has very good stability to oxidation.

Cupuaçu butter has a higher phytosterol content (>300 mg/100g) than other butters (shea, cacao), which helps to strengthen the hydrolipidic film; it also has repairing properties.

Cupuaçu butter is rich in hydrating fatty acids (oleic, stearic) and is also very nourishing. It provides a real plant-based alternative to lanolin on account of its excellent capacity to maintain the skin’s hydration levels. The key to its softness lies in its inimitable melting texture, which gives formulas a “velvety” feel.
