Description
Murumuru Butter (Astrocaryum murumuru) is a vegetable butter sourced directly from the Amazon region, with remarkable qualities confirmed by both popular tradition and modern cosmetic use: an intensely nourishing and emollient, highly protective and regenerative agent for both hair and skin, thanks to its notable concentration of lauric acid, myristic acid, and provitamin A. Due to its significant affinity for proteins in the hair structure, murumuru butter acts as an active ingredient for repairing and disciplining damaged, curly, dry hair, or hair with hard-to-control volume.
Although it has a solid consistency and a hard structure at room temperature, murumuru butter melts easily upon contact with the skin, penetrating rapidly and deeply without leaving a greasy sensation or a sticky film, offering instead a silky and smooth touch.
The gentle refining process applied to this butter aims to reduce its strong native odor and dark color, providing a neutral and stable base that is ideal for cosmetic formulations. Its most valuable peculiarity is its remarkable affinity with the hair fiber: lauric acid, with its low molecular weight, has the ability to penetrate the hair cuticle, strengthening it from within, a mechanism similar to coconut oil, but in a richer and more protective form.
Characteristics
- eco Culture: Wildcrafted / Conventional (Amazon Rainforest, Brazil)
- water_do Appearance: Hard solid at room temperature, slightly waxy uneven appearance, ivory-white color, fine specific scent
- verified_user Quality: Cosmetic grade, cold-pressed, followed by filtration
Ingredients: Astrocaryum Murumuru Seed Butter
100% natural, free of preservatives, free of additives.
Main Properties
- checkIntensely emollient and nourishing: contributes to maintaining the optimal moisture level of the skin, leaving a pleasant, non-greasy feel.
- checkSkin regenerative and repairing: promotes and maintains skin elasticity, making it suitable for areas with damaged skin.
- checkHair fortifier: lauric acid penetrates the hair cuticle, strengthening the hair fiber from the inside; it smooths frizzy hair and helps define curls.
- checkProtector of the hydrolipid film: contributes to diminishing transepidermal water loss, supporting the skin's natural barrier.
- checkRapid absorption: melts upon contact with the skin without leaving an overly greasy layer, a rare quality among hard butters.
Usage & Synergies
For skin care, Murumuru butter is suitable for all skin types, especially for dry, cracked, irritated, or damaged skin. It is useful in formulas for dry or chapped lips, eczema, psoriasis, and for areas with rough skin (hands, elbows, knees, heels). For application on its own, it is recommended to pre-melt it in the palms.
For hair care, it is recommended for dry, damaged, unruly hair, due to its remarkable affinity with the strand's proteins. It smooths frizzy hair and helps define curls, protecting the hair against the frizz effect caused by humidity.
Practical recommendations
- Face and body creams: Added to the oil phase of emulsions to impart creaminess to the preparation, while ensuring easy absorption into the skin.
- Hair treatment: Melt the butter in the palms or in a water bath. Apply to the hair as a mask. Leave on for 15-30 minutes, then shampoo and rinse.
- Ends treatment: Melt a pea-sized amount between the palms and apply to the ends and lengths of dry hair, avoiding the roots.
- Lip balms and lipsticks: Used to provide consistency and nourishing properties to lip care products without altering their aroma.
- Body butters and massage bars: Combined with other vegetable oils and optionally wax to create solid massage products that melt gently on the skin surface.
- Hand or foot cream: Incorporate as an ingredient in creams destined for areas with rough skin.
Synergies in skin and hair care
For a repairing cream for cracked skin, the synergy with Centella Asiatica Oil and Bisabolol completes regeneration and soothing. For eczema or damaged skin, the association with Organic Hemp Seed Oil and Ceramides supports skin barrier repair. As an ingredient in lip balms, it combines well with Cocoa Butter and Ricin Oil. For facial creams, it pairs well with Olive Squalane or Jojoba Oil, preserving a silky finish on the skin.
For a strengthening hair mask, it combines efficiently with Organic Ricin Oil and Burdock Oil. As a treatment for split ends, the synergy with Organic Argan Oil and Phyto-Silicone brings shine and repair without weight. For curly, unruly, or difficult-to-comb hair, the association with Olive-Silicone completes the disciplining effect. For the care and definition of curly or dry hair, it pairs ideally with Argan Oil, Broccoli Seed Oil, or Kokum Butter, creating intensely nourishing hair treatments.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why is it so good for hair?
Lauric acid, the main component, has a low molecular weight, which allows it to penetrate the hair cuticle and fortify the hair fiber from within — a mechanism similar to that of coconut oil, but with a richer, more protective texture.
How does it melt more easily?
Being solid and hard, it is recommended to pre-melt it in the palms by rubbing them together, or in a warm water bath, for an easier and more uniform application.
Is murumuru butter suitable for combination or oily skin?
Although it absorbs quickly and has a pleasant touch, the lauric acid in its composition can have a moderate comedogenic potential for individuals with extremely oily or actively acne-prone skin.

I recommend, it is a nourishing and soothing butter. It's very solid at room temperature, for a while I used it as it is but it was freu to take it out of the bottle and had to be held in the hand a little to melt. Now I mix it in equal parts with various oils and get a very pleasant and fine cream.

This oil has pleasantly surprised me, because it moisturizes my complexion well and doesn't make my skin feel greasy. I like to pamper my complexion with a daily dose of this great ingredient. Your complexion needs to be well maintained if you want to look good for as long as possible.

I've only used it in creams so far. I like that it doesn't leave a greasy feeling. I have seen that it is good for hair too. Do you have any recipes for a conditioner to incorporate it into?

It's an interesting butter: it melts quickly in contact with the skin (37 oC), absorbs quickly into the skin, has a pleasant, smooth texture. After application, the skin is non-greasy. Used in cosmetic products it helps to maintain skin elasticity, is moisturizing. I recommend.

Jeg bruger mest murumuru-smør som hårkur, når der lige skal lidt ekstra til. Jeg kan godt lide tanken om, at det kommer direkte fra regnskoven, og er heeelt naturligt.

Out of curiosity I recently bought this product (butter), it is for the first time, I recently found out that it is also used in creams for more problematic skin . I tried it as a preventative in face cream, to see how it is So far I have used mango butter because I have dry skin , I think I will go back to it as the main ingredient (base). I will also use Murumuru but only as a helper and not as a base. I recommend to those who have real skin problems.

I use it to make my solid conditioner. The first time I did it with just shea butter, then mango butter, and it was good. but when I did it with murumuru, that's one more thing! my hair loves it! untangles easier, hair is softer. so I buy again! - I clarify that I have thin and long hair - I recommend it! :)
