Cupuaçu Butter

Cacao’s rainforest cousin.

Cupuaçu is a rainforest tree related to cacao. Its large fruit holds creamy pulp and seeds; the seeds give us a soft plant butter with a character all its own.

The plant: Theobroma grandiflorum
The part we use: The butter pressed from seeds inside cupuaçu fruit
The roots: A tree of tropical South America

Why it belongs in the blend

A little more
to love.

Cupuaçu contributes a smooth, generous feel to the ganache. This seed butter helps round out the blend’s spread and rich, softening finish.

For your skin

Cupuaçu gives the blend a soft, plush feel without adding water to the tin. Its seed butter contains a mix of stearic and oleic fats, useful for a creamy-feeling glide from a solid plant butter. Warm a small amount between your hands and smooth it over damp skin.

Hair, curls & beard

A little richness can be lovely on coarse curls and weather-worn ends. Try a trace on the lengths, or use it before shampooing if your hair wants conditioning without the weight of a leave-in butter. Start small and adjust.

Beyond the ingredient

The seed has a story, too

Inside a cupuaçu fruit are the seeds that give us this creamy butter. The tree is a close relative of cacao, with its own rainforest story and a beautifully different feel. I chose it for the way it brings softness and slip to the blend.

I love the way this butter makes the richer ingredients feel at home together. Softness, slip, and a little rainforest character.

All seven, together
