Ucuuba Butter

Botanical Name: Virola sebifera L.
Description: Native to Central and South America, Ucuuba butter is a natural butter cold pressed from the seeds of the Ucuuba tree.
Appearance: Dark brown waxy solid.
Common Uses: Ucuuba butter is said to have anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties and is ideal for treating acne, eczema and dry or irritated skin. Exceptionally rich in essential fatty acids, Ucuuba butter is considered to have anti-aging properties and can be used to replenish tone and moisture to dry and mature skin.
Ucuuba butter is ideal for making pomades, creams, lotions, body butters and other skin care formulations where emollience is desired. Due to its dark brown color, this butter can be used to produce richly colored dark soaps. It can be also used, in combination with other ingredients, for producing vegetable candles.
Shelf Life: Ucuuba butter has a shelf-life of approximately 1 - 2 years and should be stored in a cool dark place.

Recommended Usage:
• Soaps: 5 - 20%
• Pomades: 5 – 20 %
• Body Butters & Creams: 3 – 13 %

I use this butter since a while. Therefore, for soapmaking, it is better to melt it and sieve. There are little black bits into it (maybe little pieces of shell from the nut), so it is better to "clean" the butter. Again, I hope that this butter will be available for a long time. My soaps containing ucuuba butter are among my best sellers. Very rich and moisturing.

I love this butter!! It worked perfect in my lotion bars when I mixed it with shea butter. It's very moisturizing and the smell is earthy, but not strong. I will definitely buy more. I didn't strain the butter when I heated it because it gave the lotion bars an herbal look. Thanks NDA!!!

I used the Ucuuba Butter in a body cream I made and it was less oily than when I use Cocoa Butter. I love the texture it gave the cream. It was so light and creamy that I even tried it on my face for a night cream. Very moistuizing yet not greasy feeling on skin. It gives a lasting softness to arms and legs. The smell was lightly woody and blended nice with Rosewood and Frankincense. It smelled bad in the jar when it arrived but is light in creams or lotions. I had to strain the cream while it was hot to remove the bits of seeds mixed in the butter but most debris just settled in the bottom so when I filled my jars the cream was smooth. Very nice butter! I wish it came strained though so it didn't leave debris in the cream.

I blended this with other oils and butters to make a moisturizer that melts into my skin. Very moisturizing and I don't find the smell too strong, just kind of nutty.

My first exposure to this product was from New Directions and it is an absolutely delightful product that I have been able to use in both my soap products as well as skin care. The natural qualities of this product are amazing.

Ucuuba butter is an amazing precious exotic butter. It is a wonderful product to be used "as is" on skin or in soaps. Its earthy smell mixes well with Fir Tree, Pine, Patchouli, Cedarwood, Cedar leaf, Vetiver. Try your own mixes ! You can use it in your shampoos, hair masks and sugar scrubs. It leaves your skin hydrated and not sticky, feeling fresh and odorant. If you are a candlemaker, ucuuba butter can be used instead of chemical paraffin. Is it not a good deal ? Just try a sample and you will want to order more. Ucuuba butter is a very interesting and reliable product. I used it in my soaps and I will order some more. Thank you to New Directions to provide us such special butters and other precious materia prima !
