Common Uses – Tucuma Butter unusually rich in lauric, myristic and oleic acids, and is considered to have excellent emollient and skin-softening properties.

Tucuma Butter's natural gloss brings a shine to dry, damaged hair and can act as a wonderful skin moisturizer.
Tucuma Butter is solid at room temperature but melts immediately on contact with the skin. Tucuma's great emollient and skin feel come from its high levels of Lauric, Myristic, and Oleic fatty Acids.
