Intro
Introduction to Murumuru Butter
Murumuru Butter (trade name: MURUMURU AMZ™) is extracted from the seeds of the Murumuru palm (Astrocaryum murumuru), a species native to the Amazon rainforest of South America, particularly found in Brazil and the Amazon basin.
This rich butter is obtained by cold-pressing the kernels inside the edible fruit of the palm. It remains firm and solid at room temperature, but gently melts into a silky oil upon contact with the skin.
MURUMURU AMZ™ and Applications
Murumuru Butter is prized for its deep hydration, high fatty acid content, and its ability to nourish and repair both skin and hair without clogging pores or feeling greasy.
Murumuru Butter is rich in vitamin A, an essential nutrient for promoting collagen production, making it a powerful ingredient for skin repair and anti-aging care.
Its high content of oleic acid provides intense emollient and moisturizing effects, helping maintain skin elasticity, smoothness, and lasting hydration.
Thanks to its natural vitamins A and C, Murumuru Butter also offers strong antioxidant protection, shielding the skin from UV rays and environmental stressors.
Powerful Protection & Healing
Lauric acid, abundantly present in Murumuru Butter, offers anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal benefits.
It effectively supports troubled skin, including acne-prone areas, by penetrating deeply without clogging pores.
The “Plant-Based Silicone”
Nicknamed the “plant-derived silicone”, Murumuru Butter is a star ingredient in many premium haircare products.
It helps protect hair from UV damage and harsh chemicals while reducing frizz, tangles, and breakage — leaving your hair soft, manageable, and naturally shiny.
