Cupuaçu Butter: The Superfruit Moisturizer Your Skin Has Been Waiting For
Let me introduce you to one of my favorite skin-loving ingredients: cupuaçu butter. If you’ve never heard of it, get ready—because this Amazonian treasure is one of the richest, most luxurious moisturizers I use in my formulas here at Camelia Colette Soapery.
What Is Cupuaçu Butter?
Cupuaçu (koo-poo-AH-soo) butter comes from the seeds of the cupuaçu fruit, which grows wild in the Amazon rainforest. It’s related to cacao but creamier, softer, and even more hydrating. What makes it so special? Its unique ability to retain moisture—it can hold over 400% of its weight in water, making it a natural skin-plumper and hydration booster.
Why I Love It for Skincare
This butter is packed with phytosterols, fatty acids, and antioxidants that deeply nourish without feeling greasy. It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin, yet rich enough to soothe dryness, flakiness, and rough patches. It even helps improve elasticity and soften fine lines.
It’s like a hug for your skin—and it’s why I use it in some of my most loved products.

How to Use It
Cupuaçu butter is best used daily—especially after cleansing or bathing—to lock in moisture. Whether you’re smoothing on a bit of soufflé before bed or softening your beard in the morning, your skin will thank you.
If you’ve never tried cupuaçu butter before, you’re in for a natural treat. It’s one of those ingredients that makes you wonder why you ever used anything else.
Until next time, stay soft, stay glowing, and stay naturally nourished. 💛
With love,
Colette
