Murumuru Butter, 1 kg

A dense Amazonian butter built for professional skin and hair formulas

Murumuru butter is pressed from the seeds of the Astrocaryum murumuru palm, native to the Amazon basin. This solid vegetable fat is rich in saturated fatty acids, giving finished formulations a firm texture and the ability to form a light protective film on skin and hair. The 1 kg pack size suits small-batch studio production and growing manufacturing operations that need a steady supply for creams, balms, masks and solid sticks without frequent reordering. The product belongs to the Butters category, which brings together dense plant fats used to structure formulas across cosmetic lines.

The strongest global demand for murumuru butter comes from hair care manufacturing: it appears in masks, leave-in conditioners, deep treatments and styling products, where it helps smooth the hair cuticle and reduce porosity after coloring or heat styling. In body care it goes into rich body butters, lip balms, body sticks and stretch mark formulas thanks to its ability to lock in moisture and soften rough patches of skin. Color cosmetics manufacturers use it in solid lipstick and balm bases, since it improves the pliability of the mass and makes application smoother.

In a formula, murumuru butter is added to the oil phase and melted over a water bath at roughly 60-70 degrees together with other solid and liquid oils. Once fully melted, the phase is cooled to working temperature before heat-sensitive actives, essential oils or preservatives are introduced. Typical usage levels range from 5 to 20 percent depending on the desired firmness and product type. It pairs well with other exotic plant fats: Sea Buckthorn Butter for formulas with a pronounced restorative effect, Kokum Bater for firmer sticks and balms, and Ucuuba Butter, which boosts the nourishing profile of the blend due to its high myristic acid content.

Beyond cosmetics, dense plant butters of this type are also used in premium candle making, where a firm fat texture affects burn structure, and occasionally appear in household chemical formulations as softening additives. In soap making murumuru butter is used less frequently, but it can lend soap extra hardness and a creamier lather.

Store the butter in a tightly sealed container, in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight, at a temperature not exceeding 25 degrees, to prevent premature oxidation of the fats.
