Directions

Gently melt the butter if needed and incorporate it into your cold process soap or personal care formula at the desired usage rate, blending thoroughly to ensure even distribution. Add to oils in CP soap before lye is introduced, or stir into lotions, balms, and creams during the oil phase. Always test your final formulation, as different butters can affect texture, hardness, and performance.

Warning

For external cosmetic use only. Not for ingestion. Avoid eyes. Discontinue if irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children. Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.

One of my favs

"I absolutely love this product. Can add it to ANYTHING!! Great way to elevate anything to luxury status."

— Aprilp (5/5)

Cupuacu butter

"I've made the BumBum cream (recipe) with this butter and my customers RAVE about it. I hadn't heard of BumBum until my hip(er)/cool(er) daughter told me about it! This is a great find and my third order of this butter."

— Patrice (5/5)

Great shine

"I substituted a small amount of beeswax with the murumuru butter and it produced a smooth gliding shimmery lip balm. I am very pleased with this."

— Marianne (5/5)

PERFECT

"I love the consistency of this butter. It's nice a firm but melts to the touch."

— GGA (5/5)

High End Addition

"This is an unusual ingredient that is similar to Cupuacu, yet it adds a luxurious element over and above superior moisture retention. I find this particularly effective in anti-aging formulations."

— Annette (5/5)

Great substitue for Coconut Oil

"I used this butter to replace coconut oil in homemade liquid shampoo. It came out beautiful and sudsy."

— Home (5/5)

Great choice!

"I have been searching for something for my chapsticks that gives them the hardness that I enjoy. I usually use cocoa butter but I don't like the overpowering scent that comes with it. I used this and I love it! It doesn't have a strong smell but helps bond the chapsticks well."

— Loni (5/5)

Q&A

What is the HLB of murumuru butter?: The HLB is an 8.
Since this also comes from the palm tree, what is the difference between the palm kernel oil and Murumuru since they both come from the nuts?: The main difference is that Murumuru Butter has 36% myristic acid and only 1.6% capric acid. They both have similar qualities in CP soap.
Would this qualify as a vegan ingredient?: Yes, this is vegan. Murumuru butter comes from the nuts of the palm tree.
Is there another Butter with similar qualities?: There is not a exact replacement. It does have similar attributes to lanolin but not everyone likes to use lanolin. You can try using cupuacu in your formula also.
Are harder butters like Murumuru considered oilier than softer butters like coconut oil?: Actually, harder butters tend to be less greasy than soft butters such as shea or mango.
