This essential everyday cream protects & cares for skin of all ages & types, delivering moisture, jojoba oil, shea butter, sunflower oil, tapioca, cupuaçu butter, cocoa butter, grapeseed oil, aloe vera & vitamin E to ensure maximum effectiveness & skin compatibility. Brazilian cupuaçu butter absorbs moisture & phytosterols to regulate the production of lipids in the skin. It helps to store moisture & acts as a UV filter. Compared to either glycerin or lanolin, cupuaçu butter locks in 240% more moisture, so its super-hydrating. The cupuaçu butter we use is gathered from the Brazilian rainforest, where the cultivation of cupuaçu is a significant alternative to cultivated soya in terms of single plantations, thereby helping to give space for the re-population of the rain forest.
