Tucuma is a palm tree that produces small hard fruits with a big seed. The pulp is very popular in the north of Brazil, where they make even sandwiches from it. Tucuma butter is made from the seeds and tucuma oil from the pulp.
The Tucuma palm is from the same family of the Murumuru palm, the butters have similar properties. Both butters are known for their "vegetable silicone" properties, forming a transparent protective film on skin, without clogging pores, since this is a light protective butter, it is perfect for curly hair of all textures.
This butter is very easy to be used by itself or use on any DIY beauty recipes.
