Murumuru butter can be used in a wide range of cosmetic applications:

In skin care (creams, lotions, body butters, balms), it is typically incorporated at 1–10%. At lower levels (1–3%) it will act mainly as an emollient and co-emulsifier, while at higher levels (5–10%) it will deliver richer texture, nourishment, and protection. In lip care products such as balms, sticks, and glosses, usage ranges from 5–15%, providing smooth spreadability, long-lasting hydration, and good stick stability.

For hair care (conditioners, masks, leave-ins), Murumuru is used at 1–8%, with lower amounts (1–3%) for lightweight conditioning and higher levels (5–8%) for intense repair masks.

In soaps and solid formulations, it is commonly included at 5–20%, where it contributes to hardness, creaminess, and moisturizing benefits.

Murumuru butter has a low melting point (around 30–35°C), so it melts easily into the skin and hair without leaving a heavy residue. It blends well with other butters (e.g. Cupuaçu) and oils (e.g. Buriti, Sacha Inchi) for tailored textures.

No, Murumuru butter is considered non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores and cause breakouts. Compared to other moisturizing ingredients like coconut oil, it's less comedogenic and less likely to cause acne or comedones. This makes it particularly suitable for those who find coconut oil too heavy or pore-clogging for their skin. The butter provides the same beneficial lauric acid content as coconut oil without the pore-clogging concerns.

For anhydrous (water-free) formulations, Murumuru butter does not require emulsifiers. However, like other butters, it cannot act as an emulsifier itself and will require proper emulsifying agents when formulating water-containing products such as lotions and creams. The butter works well in oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions when combined with appropriate emulsifiers.

Primegreen's Murumuru butter is of high quality as it is cold-pressed, pure (without additives) and wild harvested to ensure maximum nutrient retention.

Murumuru butter offers a unique combination of properties: it's softer than mango and shea butters but much harder than coconut oil, making it an excellent middle-ground option.

Unlike heavier butters such as shea, Murumuru melts quickly on contact with the skin, absorbing easily without leaving a greasy film.

Thanks to this balance of light texture and powerful emollience, Murumuru butter offers a sensory experience and performance that set it apart from other butters.

Yes, Murumuru butter is excellent for sensitive and acne-prone skin due to its non-comedogenic nature. Unlike coconut oil, which can be problematic for breakout-prone skin, Murumuru butter provides similar lauric acid benefits without clogging pores. When applied to skin, it gives a non-greasy feeling and forms a protective barrier that prevents microbes and dirt from penetrating deep into the skin, making it suitable for preventing infections like acne.

Murumuru butter offers several advantages over coconut oil: it provides the same high lauric acid content (47%) as coconut oil but is non-comedogenic, making it suitable for acne-prone skin. Unlike coconut oil, which can clog pores, Murumuru butter absorbs quickly and leaves a non-greasy feel. Compared to harder butters like cocoa butter, Murumuru butter has a softer consistency that spreads more easily, while still providing more structure than liquid oils.

Murumuru butter provides excellent moisturizing and emollient properties, quickly absorbing into skin without leaving a greasy residue. It forms a protective skin barrier when applied, helping to prevent environmental damage. The high lauric acid content provides antimicrobial benefits similar to coconut oil but with better skin compatibility. Its non-comedogenic nature makes it suitable for all skin types, including those prone to breakouts.
