What is cupuaçu butter?

Cupuaçu is a fruit that grows in the Amazon region, particularly in Bolivia, Colombia, Brazil and Peru. When you crack open the fruit you'll find a handful of seeds surrounded by cupuaçu butter.

Cupuaçu butter (Theobroma Gandiflorum Seed Butter) is extremely hydrating and therefore perfect for dry skin and hair. The scent is exotic and reminiscent of chocolate and pineapple.

Benefits

Skin

Hair

Do you have dry or brittle hair? Nourish it with cupuaçu butter for good hydration, shine and lovely softness. Especially if you've just dyed your hair, it's important to care for it properly. Cupuaçu butter helps seal in the colour so it doesn't fade quickly and gives your hair the softness it needs after an intensive colour treatment.

How to use it?
