Tucuma butter exhibits good spread-ability on the skin, making it ideal as a massage butter or body balm, and it can be added to soaps, creams, lotions, body butters, conditioners, masks and more. It can also be used in hair care products for added conditioning and shine.
Shelf Life: Ucuuba butter has a shelf-life of approximately 1 - 2 years and should be stored in a cool dark place.

• Lotions & Creams: 2 - 20%
• Balms: 5 – 100 %
• Bar Soaps: 3 – 12 %
• Hair Conditioners: 5 – 10 %

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
