Bacuri butter is very popular in the north of Brazil, it comes from the seeds of a beloved local fruit with a rich pulp, smell and taste (I could taste it in my mouth for hours).
Being a very dark butter with intense scent, it sometimes is received with some resistance by my costumers, that is, before they completely fall in love with it!
In the forest it is used as a effective remedy against insect bites, on the treatment of problem skin, arthritis and rheumatism. Can be used to reduce the appearance of blemishes and reduce scarring.
Bacuri butter has a high absorption rate, due to its high level of tripalmitin (50% to 55%), which penetrates the skin quickly. The high amount of fatty palmitoleic acid (5%), compared to other oils (less than or equal to 0.5 to 1.5%), makes the Bacuri oil a fantastic emollient, which can also be used as a moisturizing agent.
Bacuri is rich in Lysine which has been proved to be beneficial for treating eczemas and herpes simplex infections, it is also essential in the crosslink formation that stabilizes collagen and elastin production - being used to treat skin injuries. It is also rich in Methionine, an essential amino acid, body’s primary source of sulfur. The body uses sulfur to influence hair follicles and promote healthy hair, skin and nail growth.
