Ucuuba butter

Ucuuba butter is obtained from the seeds of the Virola surinamensis tree, native to the Amazon rainforest. The importance of this tree species can also be observed in ancient Amazonian cultures, where it was traditionally used for medicinal and cosmetic purposes. The seeds of the tree are extremely rich in fats, which are extracted to obtain a particularly nourishing oil, which is excellent for the skin care and cosmetics industry.

The unique feature of ucuuba butter lies in the fact that, although it has a very high fat content, it has an extremely light texture, which is quickly absorbed into the skin, without leaving a greasy, oily feeling. This feature makes it particularly beneficial for everyday use, especially for those who don't like heavy, greasy skin care products.

The fatty acids in the butter, such as myristic acid, help to hydrate the skin and improve its elasticity, while intensively nourishing the deeper layers of the skin. This moisturizing effect can be particularly useful for dry, chapped skin, or for treating conditions where the skin is particularly stressed, such as eczema or psoriasis.

In addition, ucuuba butter has antimicrobial properties that help maintain skin health, reducing the risk of skin irritation and inflammation. This butter can be an ideal choice for skin care products that aim to protect and regenerate the skin, such as body butters, face creams and balms.
