๐ฌ How It Actually Works
A fat extracted from the Tucuma palm tree. It is highly unique because it provides the moisture-sealing properties of a butter, but possesses an incredible, silicone-like slip.
๐ Why your skin loves it
Locks in intense moisture, provides a silky skin feel, and protects the barrier.
๐ก Pro Tip
Often used in premium hair masks and very rich body/face creams.
โ๏ธ Myth vs. Fact
The Myth
It is completely non-comedogenic.
The Science
While lighter than Shea, it is still a heavy butter and should be avoided by highly acne-prone skin.
