Cupuacu Butter is obtained from the fruit seed of the Cupuacu tree (Theobroma Grandiflorum) found growing wild in the eastern subregion of the Brazilian Amazonia. The fruit of Cupuacu is used to produce juices and sorbets in its native South America.
The seeds contain approximately 48% of a "butter" which is stable and highly suitable for use in cosmetics and toiletries, as well as foods and confections. Cupuacu Butter has a high capacity for water absorption and is an excellent emollient for cosmetic formulations, often being compared functionally with Lanolin.
Suggested uses: Creams, lotions, balms, make-up foundations and bar soaps, massage creams, suppositories and a variety of cosmetic and OTC pharmaceutical applications. Use from 3% to 100% pure (as a butter-like balm).
Cupuacu butter is solid and could turn slightly creamy at room temperature. We have absolutely no control over the aroma and consistency of this butter, sometimes we receive batches which are hard, other times we receive batches that are slightly creamier. Should the butter develop a grainy texture or crystallization, either won’t affect the quality of the butter. Shelf life: 2 years when properly stored, tightly sealed, away from direct light. Color: Ranges from white to ivory.
Efficacy: Prevents drying of the skin and development of wrinkles. Reduces degeneration of skin cells and restores skin flexibility, offers skin softness and improves the moisture and elasticity of the skin. SAP value: 188 - 198. INCI: Theobroma Grandiflorum Seed Butter.
Cupuacu, when melted, will give you more of a creamy feel on the skin as opposed to, for example, cocoa butter. Cupuacu and Cocoa Butter are both from the same genus, but from different species. Cocoa butter is usually a slightly harder butter than Cupuacu.
Cocoa butter: Theobroma cacao
Cupuacu: Theobroma grandiflorum
NOTE - IMPORTANT: Our products are sold by weight. Depending on the texture and consistency of the butter its packaging will vary, some will be dispensed in plastic ziplock bags and others will be dispensed in jars or pails.
The time of year when vegetable/nut butters are transported may cause the butter to partially or fully melt as well as to partially or fully solidify. We do not add anything to our butters, we do not melt our butters. We have no control over the temperatures to which vegetable/nut butters are subjected while in transit to the customer nor do we have any control over how they will appear when they’re delivered to the customer.
We can offer two suggestions. (1) Do not order any of our butters at certain times of the year if you’re greatly concerned about how they will arrive at the destination. (2) Order and then allow the product to return to its original state by leaving it uncovered at room temperature for as long as may be required. By ‘uncovered’ we mean you should place a clean, breathable cloth over the opening of the container to allow the product to breathe and to keep out impurities and dust while the butter returns to its normal state.
We do not accept returns, all our sales are final. We will not accept a return because a raw material arrived melted or frozen at its destination.
Camden-Grey sells its products only for external use. It is the customer’s responsibility to understand the information contained in a product’s MSDS and to become familiar and well versed in how each product should be used, including a product’s precautions, if any. MSDS’s are posted on our site, look for the MSDS link at the bottom of all our pages.

What I love most about this butter is the faint caramel scent. Makes you want to eat it! I use it in my hair and body butters for its superior moisturizing qualities.

I tried this in my hair and absolutely love it! It isn't too heavy and overpowering and moisturizers nicely!
Keisha Moore (Florissant, MO, US) | October 26th, 2011
Do your self a favor and buy some of this. You will be upset that you didn't sooner. Anyone with dry skin or eczema, this should be a staple in your house. Forget those expensive creams and ointments and get some of this butter, thank me later, lol
Michelle Walstra (Sun Prairie, WI, US) | October 25th, 2011
I've never used this butter before ordering from this site. This stuff is awesome. Very very creamy in my lotions. Will be getting more soon!

AT FIRST THE SMELL WAS KINDA WEIRD BUT IT WASN'T A OVERWHELMING SMELL. I USE THIS FOR A HAIR MOISTURIZER AND IT WORKS GREAT ON WET HAIR.ITS A LITTLE HARDER THAN SHEA BUTTER BUT ITS EASY TO USE IF ITS MELTED DOWN AND WHIPPED.

I bought this butter strictly from reviews. I am so glad I did. This butter is so good to my skin. I made a moisture cream for my sensitve skin and everybody noticed how great my skin looks. My cream turned out smooth and creamy. I gave some to my sister and now I have orders for "That cream you made" from my sister's friends. The only problem is I just bought enough butter for myself. This butter is a sure winner. Thank you Camden Grey!

This was one of the first butters I ordered from Camden. It has a earthy smell to me, and blended with the Oakmoss absolute I ordered as well (and other Camden butters and oils), made a very earthy/woodsy smelling eczema cream for my son. I've since became a kitchen chemist and have to order more of this butter, as I have mixed it with beeswax and other ingredients to make a hair paste that I love. Thanks Camden, all of the products I've ordered from you have served me well.

I made a wonderful emulsified creme with Camden Grey Cupuacu butter. This butter works very well in lotions and body butters, making a silky smooth creme. I used this butter to create an anti-aging face creme with grapeseed and aloe juice, which immediately sold out! This stuff is amazing for mature/dry skin, you can feel an instant difference in the texture of your skin. Highly recommended!
Henry Smallwood (Chattanooga, TN, US) | December 22nd, 2010
First there is the aroma: similar to cocoa butter, but with a hint of tropical fruit. Melts like cocoa butter and has a creamy feel on the skin. Another of your fine butters and oils to get to know!
