What Is Astrocaryum Murumuru Seed Butter?
Astrocaryum murumuru seed butter comes from the seeds of Astrocaryum murumuru, a type of palm native to the Amazon rainforest. It is not considered a species threatened by deforestation concerns in the area, and efforts are continuing to make certain that status remains.
Like other non-fragrant plant butters, Astrocaryum murumuru seed butter is an excellent emollient for skin. It has a high fatty acid content, including a remarkable 40% composition of lauric acid, a medium-chain fatty acid that supports skin’s ceramides for a healthier barrier. It is also a source of antioxidant phenols.
The independent Cosmetic Ingredient Review has ruled that Astrocaryum murumuru seed butter is safe in its current use in skin care products. Use levels have a sweeping range of 3–100%
