Cupuaçu
The butter of cupuaçu is rich and creamy, making it an excellent moisturizer. It helps the skin feel smooth and soft while helping it retain its natural elasticity.
Why is cupuaçu considered a superfruit of the Amazon? Maybe because it contains:
- Vitamins B1, B2, B3
- Fatty and amino acids
- A plethora of antioxidants like Vitamins A and C
- Phytonutrient polyphenols
We use cupuaçu in one of our body lotions.
