Frequently asked questions
What is ucuuba butter?
It is the fat cold pressed from the seeds of the ucuuba tree, Virola surinamensis, a member of the nutmeg family, with the INCI name Virola Surinamensis Seed Butter. It comes from the Brazilian Amazon.
What does virgin ucuuba butter look and feel like?
As an unrefined butter it is firm, with a natural, earthy scent. It is harder than shea, so it adds body and structure to balms, sticks and bars while melting to a rich, cushioned skin feel.
Can ucuuba butter be used in food?
No, it is supplied for cosmetic use only. Formulators often use it alongside or instead of other hard butters to firm up lip balms, lotion bars and whipped body butters.
What pack sizes are available?
From 500g up to 25kg, all priced online. For regular volumes, ask us for a bulk quote. The specification and SDS are available on request.
