Theobroma grandiflorum seed butter is the extract from the seed of a plant known as cupuacu that is native to the Amazon Basin in South America. Much like the seed butter from a related plant, Theobroma cacao (cocoa), it is well known for its emollient and softening properties.
Part of the reason Theobroma grandiflorum seed butter is so effective at conditioning skin is because of its concentration of fatty acids, including oleic and linoleic acids, the latter being a key component of ceramides. In addition, there is some research showing this seed butter can help reduce the outward effects of skin damage from the sun’s UVB rays.
The independent Cosmetic Ingredient Review board has ruled Theobroma grandiflorum safe as applied in cosmetics, where usage ranges between 0.00005-7%.
