Tucuma Butter



The Tucuma is a tree originally from Brazil, specifically the Amazon rainforest. Tucuma butter is extracted from the fruit of Astrocaryum tucuma, both of the flesh and the almonds. Tucuma butter is high in fatty acids such as lauric, myristic and oleic acid.




Tucuma butter helps to hydrate the hair and the natural content of myristic acid in this butter helps to soothe the scalp. It also contains a high concentration of vitamin A that helps to nourish and add a natural gloss to dry, damaged hair and is excellent for softening the skin.

About 90% of Decadent Butters products are butter based. I use a variety of butters (and oils derived from these butters) in my products. Over the next week or so I'll dedicate a post to each butter that explains their origins and their benefits.

So keep an eye out for information the following butters.

  • Shea
  • Kokum
  • Illipe
  • Mango
  • Caupacu
  • Tucuma
  • Murumuru
