What is Murumuru Butter?

Murumuru Butter is pressed from the seeds of the Amazon palm Astrocaryum Murumuru and then physically refined with steam and filtration. This purification step ensures extra stability, an almost odorless scent and a soft, cream-white color. In the Amazon, this butter is known as a rich, intensely softening "super butter" that protects and nourishes the skin.

Due to its unique fatty acid profile, rich in lauric acid and myristic acid, Murumuru forms a protective, breathable lipid layer that helps limit moisture loss and supports the skin. The butter softens tightness, nourishes dry areas and contributes to supple, resilient skin. Lauric acid is also known for its mild, skin-caring properties that support a balanced skin flora.

What are the benefits of Murumuru Butter?

Deep barrier support
The high content of lauric and myristic acid forms a soft, protective film that helps limit moisture loss and supports supple skin.

Soothes and softens
The rich texture helps reduce dryness, roughness and tightness, and supports natural recovery in sensitive skin.

Skin-caring balance
Lauric acid provides a mild, caring effect that helps balance the skin flora and keeps the skin pure.

Antioxidant support
Tocopherols (vitamin E) and phytosterols help neutralize free radicals and support skin elasticity.

Silky smooth finish
Melts immediately on the skin and absorbs pleasantly without heavy film; ideal for luxurious creams and balms.

Exceptionally hair-friendly
Tames frizz, defines curls, nourishes dry ends and helps improve porosity for more shine and suppleness.

Formulator favorite
Due to its higher melting point (approx. 30–35°C), Murumuru gives body and stability to sticks, balms and emulsions, and contributes to a creamy texture.
