Astrocaryum Murumuru Seed Butter
Murumuru seed butter is a rich, plant-derived fat extracted from the seeds of the Murumuru palm tree, native to the Amazon rainforest. It is known for its high content of lauric, myristic, and oleic acids, which contribute to its moisturizing and emollient properties. This butter helps to soften and protect the skin and hair by forming a protective barrier.
