Murumuru Moisture Milk Anyone?

Once again I'm blogging about Murumuru Butter because it's my favorite butter and I can't get enough.  I would walk to Brazil to get it if they couldn't send me anymore (Ok, I', exaggerating LOL), but it's just that amazing.  The butter can be used on hair and skin so it can serve a dual purpose for natural beauty.

For hair it provides softness, flexibility, and elasticity you won't believe.  If you're still suffering from dry, coarse hair this may be for you.  Murumuru butter along with other nourishing oils provides gloss to dry hair in addition to moisture all hair needs.

• Murumuru butter is obtained from the seeds of the Astrocaryum Murumuru tree which is native to Brazil.

• It is extremely high in vitamin A, making it a superb anti-oxidant.

• It is rich in oleic and linoleic acids which help create a permeable barrier to prevent water loss and give it excellent emollient properties for both skin and hair.

• Murumuru butter helps promote flexibility, hydration and provides gloss to the hair and is highly recommended for Afro-ethnic hair care.

 Cupuacu Hair Butter - Not Your Average Hair Butter

For years after making the switch to natural hair I struggled to find products that worked for my hair.  I used Shea Butter since most commercial products used them I figured it had to be a great butter.  Then I discovered the wonders of the Amazon. 

Cupuacu Butter - Comes from a fruit tree of the chocolate family, native to the northern Amazon.  Cupuacu improves the appearance prematurely aging and thinning skin while being a superior moisturizer with great water absorption. It offers high levels of essential fatty acids, which with its rich phytosterols, help the appearance of your skin’s elasticity and overall appearance of your skin. Cupuacu's high level of fatty essential acids gives it the ability to treat skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis. 

Cupuacu promotes smoothness and softness to the hair increasing the natural moisture and elasticity.  The butter has proven to be beneficial for brittle, dry hair due to it's long lasting hydration properties to replenish moisture while promoting a healthy shine.  Cupuacu is considered hydrophpllic (water loving) with a high capacity to retain water and prevent moisture loss.

I've found another one - Murumuru Butter

I have another one with a funny name.  Murumuru butter is another rare butter found in the Amazon which has amazing benefits for the hair.  As many of today's products use shea butter as the oil of choice, the use of other exotic products need to be utilized as well.  Shea butter is good, but for hair like mine shea butter is not the best butter of all.

Now lets get down to the real benefits of murumuru with how it works for kinky curly hair.  The lipids present in the murumuru plant hydrate and moisturize the skin and hair in a very intense way. The emolliency supports the integrity of the skin and your hair’s cutaneous barrier. Moreover, murumuru is chock full of nurturing vitamins and minerals.

Murumuru is especially useful to people of all ethnicities with kinky, curly or wavy hair because of its softening ability. Often, kinky, and some types of curly, hair feels coarse. Murumuru coats coarse curls, making them more supple and manageable. Products containing an appreciative amount of murumuru oil or extract are well suited to textured curls. Murumuru products moisturize the hair with lasting hydration, controlling frizz and defining curls. 

The rich butter made from murumuru is a light amber color, with an earthen aroma. It is rich in oleic acid, which promotes health. Oleic acid-rich botanicals aid with moisture retention, benefiting the skin and hair. The emollient constituents in murumuru enhance the natural gloss of hair and provide sheen to naturally dull, kinky or highly textured hair. Murumuru ingredients also provide a healthy shine to chemically treated, over-processed damaged hair. 

I've specifically formulated butters and hair moisturizers using murumuru butter because simply put it provides amazing hydration.  I'll keep every one posted so they'll no when the online store is ready for product purchase.  If you would like to try them in the meantime send a message to purabodynaturals@gmail.com
