Murumuru Butter’s soft, rich consistency makes it a great choice for use in body butters as one of the primary butters.

No, but it is a really lovely mid-way point in terms of hardness—it’s softer than mango and shea butters, but much harder than coconut oil.

My only experience has been with the refined butter, which is lovely.

The soft, rich, creamy consistency is stunning in body butters.

It is harder to find that some other soft butters, and can be more expensive.

Mango butter would probably be my top choice—you might try using 90% mango butter and 10% liquid oil to try to match the softer consistency of the murumuru butter.

Include it in the oil phase of your recipe. It can be hot or cold processed depending on what the recipe instructions call for.

Stored somewhere cool, dark, and dry, murumuru butter should last at least two years.

Murumuru Butter can contain up to 5% free glycerol.
