This butter is why I became a NDA fanatic. I was searching for something new and interesting that had great hair conditioning properties and came across this butter. So far I have made a deep conditioner and a hair butter and neither one disappoints. I have thick coily and dry hair. The hair conditioner with the tucuma butter made my hair lustorous. The hair butter I made using the Tucuma has gotten rave reviews from my stylist and her assistants. They even use it on their childrens' hair and scalp. Not mention, sometimes I just find myself sniffing the butter for its delicious scent. This my new weapon in my arsenal to combat dry dull hair.

I have just discovered my new favorite butter! I adore the scent, it smells like caramel popcorn or salty butterscotch, it feels so nice and silky on the hands, I cant wait to try it in a hair recipe, but I will be slathering it all over because I just love the natural delicious scent. I will buy more soon.

I just love the smell of Tucuma Butter. It smells like buttery carmel corn or buttery coconut cream to me. It smells good enough to eat. It has a smooth texture and is softer than Shea Butter. It is perfect when it arrives to put staight on your skin and soaks in without leaving a shine on the skin. I usually mix it with other butters and oils in lip balm, hair cream, lotions. It is my favorite butter for many of my products!

I love Tucuma butter as an emollient and a moisturizer on both skin and hair! However, the only drawback (for me, personally) is the odor: it smells STRONG, like butter; and I hate the smell of butter because it makes me nauseous. I don't even think there's anything to mix with it or add to it to reduce or mask the smell. Other than the smell- which may not bother everyone- the product is great!

It feels wonderful on hair, but I found it to be excessively grainy. I had to re melt it and whip it to get a good consistancy. Other than that...a great product

Tucuma butter is fantastic! It's light scent and super hydration make this the perfect addition to soaps and cremes. I love it's texture and "feel" as well...so luxurious and lovely!

Great butter. A new product for us and something that we are currently testing in a variety of products. Seems to be excellent for use in hair care.

Excellent butter. Substituted for Cocoa Butter with wonderful results in cp soap. I may use this one exclusively over cocoa butter in the future. Give it a try you won't be disappointed!!
