BioNat Cupuaçu
- CAS Number
- 394236-97-6
- INCI Name
- Theobroma Grandiflorum Seed Butter
Our CUPUACU BUTTER is obtained from the Kernels of Cupuaçu fruits, similar to cocoa fruits, in the Amazonian rainforest in Brazil. The Arboreal fruit is considered pre-Colombian crop plant still found wild. CUPUACU BUTTER shows an interesting balance between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, giving the butter a low melting point (approximately 30 °C) and texture of a soft solid, with good stability, which makes it ideal for cosmetics formulations.
