Murumuru Butter - Virgin

Virgin Murumuru Butter

Derived from the seeds of the Murumuru palm native to the Amazon rainforest, Virgin Murumuru Butter is a rich yet surprisingly lightweight botanical butter prized for its exceptional ability to soften, smooth, and condition both skin and hair. Naturally high in lauric, myristic, and oleic fatty acids, it melts readily upon contact with the skin, helping to replenish moisture without leaving a heavy or greasy feel.

Virgin Murumuru Butter is especially valued in hair care formulations due to its ability to provide softness and slip while remaining lighter than many traditional butters, making it an excellent choice for conditioners, masks, and premium skin care products.

 Virgin Murumuru Butter has an earthy scent and is sometimes called vegetable silicone for its ability to replace mineral silicone in skin and hair formulations perfect for helping frizzy, kinky, dry, damaged locks. It comes from the seeds of a palm tree wild harvested in the Amazon forest. Murumuru butter is rich in vitamins A and C and Omega fatty acids 3, 6, and 9. The main fatty acid found in this butter is called Lauric acid and is known for its anti-allergenic, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties making this a good choice for acne-prone skin, psoriasis, and eczema. It also has myristic acid, oleic, palmitic, linoleic acids, and antioxidants.

Note:  Natural butters and oils may melt during shipping or processing when exposed to high temperatures, and upon cooling they can sometimes re-solidify with a grainy texture or develop a thin white layer known as fat bloom (a harmless separation of fats such as stearic acid). This is a normal occurrence and does not affect the quality of your product. To restore a smooth consistency, simply warm the butter until fully liquefied, stir well, and then flash freeze in the original container or smaller jars. This process will return the butter to its creamy texture. Please note that returns are not accepted for graininess or fat blossom; if you have questions, contact us at info@bulknaturalswholesale.com. 

Formulation Notes: When adding butter to creams and lotions, it might be necessary to gently warm them until the texture can be incorporated into the final product. Using a hand blender, create a vortex with your cream or lotion and drizzle your melted butter to fully incorporate. For addition in soaps, the general rule of thumb is 1 tablespoon per pound.
Storage: 

 Store in cool temperatures (below 25 °C) away from direct light and moisture in an air-tight container. The product will become liquid above ambient temperatures (above 36 °C) but will re-solidify upon cooling without affecting functionality.
Shelf Life: 

12 months, properly stored, in a sealed container.

Common Uses:  

Having a melting point that is higher than Coconut and Tucuma Palms, it can be used to extend other kinds of butter and offers a product with greater consistency at higher ambient temperatures. 

Though solid at room temperature, it will melt in contact with the skin. It is used in formulations that help the skin recover its natural moisture content. This butter has lower recommended values for use in formulations.
