Murumuru Butter 1 kg

Why murumuru butter has become a staple in hair and skin care formulations

Murumuru butter is pressed from the seeds of the Astrocaryum murumuru palm native to the Amazon basin, and over the past decade it has moved from a niche exotic ingredient into a mainstream component used across hair repair products, lip balms, body creams and skincare targeting dry, rough skin. The 1 kg packaging is aimed at studio-scale and small industrial production, where formulators need a reliable, consistent supply without frequent reordering. This butter belongs to the Butters category, meaning it stays solid at room temperature and requires gentle melting before being blended into any formulation.

The strongest global demand for murumuru butter comes from hair care manufacturers: it repairs damaged, chemically treated and heat-styled hair, reduces porosity and makes detangling noticeably easier, which is why it is typically included in masks, conditioners and leave-in treatments at concentrations between 3 and 10 percent of the total formula. In skin care, murumuru functions as an emollient and mild occlusive, softening rough patches on elbows, knees and heels, and it is a common addition to lip balms and protective hand creams. Thanks to a stable melting point around 30-34 degrees Celsius, it holds shape well in solid sticks, balms and spa-style body products used in salons and small factories alike.

When building a formulation, murumuru butter pairs naturally with other lipid ingredients: it is frequently combined with Coconut Oil Refined to lighten the final texture, and with the lightweight Monoi de Tahiti Oil, which adds slip and a silky finish on application. For formulas with a mineral-focused positioning, some manufacturers also incorporate Brakshun (Stone Oil) to round out the trace mineral profile of the product.

Murumuru butter should be introduced during the oil phase of an emulsion, melted gently over a water bath at 40-45 degrees Celsius, avoiding temperatures above 60 degrees to preserve the beneficial compounds naturally present in the raw material. Store it in a tightly sealed container, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, at temperatures not exceeding 25 degrees, which keeps the butter stable and free of rancidity for an extended period.
