Cosmetics with cupuacu butter are still quite niche. It is a lesser known relative of Cocoa Butter, with equally nutty and sweet aroma. Where can you find it? Keep on reading to find out and by the way get to know its greatest features.

Women like to use cosmetics that contain exotic ingredients. Such products seem to be more nutritious because they contain substances that are not widely available. There is a grain of truth in this, at least when it comes to the Cupuaçu Butter. It is an Amazon oil rich in saturated fatty acids, which makes it perfect for hair care but not only.

Is it worth including Cupuaçu Butter in your everyday beauty routine?

Definitely YES!

Theobroma grandiflorum is one of the varieties of Cocoa trees. It naturally occurs in the rain forests of Central and South America. Probably this location makes it rich in valuable for skin and hair nutrients.

Natural Cupuaçu Butter comprises phytosterols with anti-inflammatory and anti-free radical properties. Additionally, there are significant amounts of Vitamin A and C and phosphorus. More importantly, the butter contains fatty acids, especially stearic acid – 38%. Most of them are saturated, although omega-9 and omega-6 fatty acids are also present (and not in trace amounts).

Try to imagine such harmony of fatty acids and nutrients in your cosmetics!

Cocoa Butter vs. Cupuaçu Butter

It occurs more and more often that instead of the famous Cocoa Butter in cosmetics you can encounter Cupuaçu Butter. Why such a change? The issue lies not in the more exotic name, but in the properties. Cocoa butter, due to the poorer composition, has less of them. Nevertheless, the content of fatty acids in both components is comparable.

How does natural Cupuaçu Butter work?

The Properties of Cupuaçu Butter:

• Belongs to the family of water loss limiting emollients.
• Has anti-inflammatory effect, which is why it is recommended to atopic eczema sufferers.
• Restores a hydrolipid coat, which is necessary for the skin
• It is considered a natural sunscreen.
• Delays the ageing process and therefore provides cellular renewal.
• It is hypoallergenic and therefore has many uses.

WHERE TO FIND CUPUAÇU BUTTER?

It is still hard to come across cosmetics containing Cupuaçu Butter. It takes time to appreciate its stunning effects. In what products can you find Cupuaçu Butter? We present four best suggestions.

Nanoil For Low Porosity Hair – (100 ml hair oil)

It is ideal for people who want to take care of their hair consciously. This is one of the three versions of Nanoil Hair Oil. What can you love this product for? For the natural composition that matches the porosity (anatomical feature) of the hair. Cupuaçu Butter plays an important role here as well as a set of eight plant oils. Regularly applied Nanoil For Low Porosity Hair provides protection, proper hydration and nutrition, accelerates drying time and facilitates hair styling. If you struggle when choosing a lightweight cosmetic, just reach for Nanoil Hair Oil without any fear. The weightless formula and the beautiful scent have already conquered the hearts of thousands of women worldwide. This is definitely one of the more impressive cosmetics containing Cupuaçu Butter.

Cupuaçu Butter in Nanoil Hair Oil:

Nanoil wins this mini contest because Cupuaçu Butter is one of the main ingredients (other products we can only find its trace amounts). The purpose of this ingredient is to improve hair resilience. Cupuaçu Butter revitalises the hair, adds radiance, soothes irritations on the scalp and prevents static. It is also a sun radiance protection support.

Ziaja Cupuaϛu Crystal Dry Oil Body Face Hair Spray All Skin Types 100ml

It is one of these versatile, 3in1 products. Unfortunately, this is not an advantage of the facial, body and hair oil from Ziaja. It is definitely better to use products designed for a specific purpose, for example, only for hair regeneration. Unfortunately, the product has little to do with regeneration, because in its composition we will not find keratin (which is the natural building block of hair). Nevertheless, it contains Cupuaçu Butter as one of the four active ingredients, right next to Karite Butter, Macadamia Oil and Brazilian Nut Oil.

Cupuaçu Butter In Ziaja Dry Oil:

It is described as the active substance. Its task is to create a protective film on the skin and hair as well as moisturise and improve resilience.

John Masters Organics Hair Reconstructor – hair conditioner 237 ml

Honey & Hibiscus is a JMO hair conditioner. Such a high price is charged for its intensive revitalising action. The cosmetic restores the health of dehydrated and damaged hair thanks to the content of eight active ingredients. Among them, the only oil is Cupuaçu Butter. The composition of John Masters Organics Honey & Hibiscus Hair Reconstructor is natural, but the overloading the formula with so many different plant substances does not always work.

Cupuaçu Butter in John Masters Organics Hair Reconstructor:

When reading the list of ingredients of John Masters Organics Hair Reconstructor, you can notice that Cupuaçu Butter is placed halfway through the composition. It means that it is surrounded with many other active substances. Unfortunately, the potential of this precious ingredient has not been fully used. Its main task is to heal dry scalp and prevent eczema and psoriasis.

R&B Hair Moisturizer – hair mask 467 ml 

Another worth-recommending product is the rich R & B Hair Moisturiser. It is intended to restore the water-lipid balance in dehydrated and curly hair. It is a good solution for those who want to have smooth hair without frizz. It smells of orange and jasmine and comes in a black and white jar. The product contains a lot of natural ingredients, but also alcohols. This is an interesting hair care supplement.

Cupuaçu Butter in R&B Hair Mask:

None of the active ingredients of this mask is Cupuaçu Butter. It appears in the composition, but only after fragrance substances which indicate only trace amount od the oil. Therefore, you cannot say that the R & B Hair Moisturizer benefits from the properties of the Cupuaçu Butter.
