Cupuacu Butter
Cupuacu butter is extracted from the Cupuacu fruit found in Northern Brazil's Amazonian rainforest. Once removed, the oil forms a creamy, buttery, consistent, silky texture and is an ideal ingredient for dry or aging skin.
Cupuacu butter is a star ingredient in skincare formulations with many essential benefits that maintain and promote youthful skin.
These benefits include restoring elasticity, improving hydration, and plumping the skin.
Restore Elasticity
Aging begins at around 25, depending on your genetics. From then on, our skin gradually loses elasticity and collagen, causing those dreaded fine lines and wrinkles to appear.
The reason our skin starts showing visible signs of aging at 25 is not because of some vengeful vendetta perpetrated by nature but because our skin stops producing as much elastin as it did before.
Also, the components needed to produce elastin are no longer readily available. This phenomenon means that once our skin begins the slow down of production of elastin and collagen, there's only a short window before any remaining collagen and elastin stores are depleted, and our skin starts losing its definition. Errrkkkkk......
Cupuacu butter slows the loss of existing collagen and elastin while also supplementing the components needed to produce elastin and collagen. Your skin begins to firm, shedding years off your appearance.
Improve Hydration
In the same way plants need the right amount of water to survive; our skin also needs hydration to maintain optimum health.
Skin draws moisture from two sources, the body's internal water supply and topical moisture.
Unfortunately, the only way to keep that moisture in is through a thin layer on the skin's surface.
In the epidermis, you'll find tightly packed cells that allow the skin to keep moisture in.
As you age, that barrier deteriorates primarily due to the inevitable aging process; but also because of extrinsic factors like UVA and UVB rays, pollution, irritants, and stress.
Once the barrier is degraded, our skin finds it harder to retain moisture, which leads to it becoming dry. This dryness only makes the skin more sensitive to potential threats that cause further damage to the skin.
Cupuacu butter has a double defense. Firstly, the butter reinforces the skin's barrier, ensuring that any moisture remains in the skin.
Secondly, the butter attracts moisture to the skin. These two aspects leave the skin deeply hydrated, which assists in maintaining the skin's function and is crucial in attaining a youthful appearance.
Plump Skin
Unlike many oils and butters used in skincare products, Cupuacu butter is unique in so much as it provides speedy results.
We know that wrinkles and fine lines become more visible the drier the skin is.
Cupuacu butter's ability to attract moisture – up to 440% more than its weight – makes it the pick-me-up your skin needs to look taut and plump.
This hydration allows your skin to have the appearance of youthful skin while more long-term benefits take effect.
For an enviable youthful appearance, the use or addition of Cupuacu butter is essential.
This Amazonian fascinator reduces the appearance of dry skin and wrinkles while also working toward reversing the long-term causes of aging.
For your skin, there's nothing better than this silky, non-pore clogging wonder of the Amazonian rainforest.
Which is why it is part of our oil blends.
Sanctify your skin.
